1993 sse Whining noise when idle.. now when moving as well
Almost sounds like a supercharger.. after doing little research ( very little ) I found something about a plastic intake manifold part that could cause it? How could plastic cause a whining noise? To me, I thought it might have been the torque converter.. ANY HELP ?????

YES.. gets higher pitch
Thats why I thought it sounded like a supercharger ( OBVIOUSLY , the sse I have does not have supercharger.. ) so blet related may be ? But what am I reading about this "plastic" part in the manifold that causes this to ? I dont want this thing to crap out. Its a sweet ride'!

Well, depending on the year, it'* possible to get an SSE with SC.
I don't know what part in the manifold could cause a whine. Got a link? Maybe I could figur it out from reading what you did. Normally, I wouldn't expect a whine to strand you, save for a bad alternator bearing. Is it kinda whirry, airy, or more mechanical, possibly electrical sounding?
