Subject:whistling engine? or Transmission whine?
From:Joy Hecht

I just noticed yesterday a new trick in my van.  When I turn on the engine I
get a kind of high pitched whistle.  Doesn't matter if I'm in gear, moving,
have breaks on or don't, have foot on gas pedal or not, etc. - it starts as
soon as I turn the key in the ignition.  No warning lights coming on, radio
off, fans off, A/C off, gas tank full.

Any thoughts?  I just saw an email from a day or two ago about a
transmission whine - could it be the same?  But mine whistles whether or not
I even have my foot on the pedal, which is different from what David
Shepherdson reported.
