true, so I’m on rock auto cause that’s where I shop haha, do I get the pulley that they specify in the TSB with part # 6L3Z-6C348-A? Or is that the bad one I need to avoid?
I looked more into that TSB and it was more directed to the 2007 and 2008 mustangs. Does that exclude my car from this issue?

Or since it was still made before the 2008 cut off date does it still affect mine? :blink:

[quote=”Raistian77″ post=78915][quote=”EricTheCarGuy” post=77804]My first thought is to something on the front of the engine. You already said you checked the power steering but you might check the other pulleys to see if one of those is making noise. In addition to the article above this video might be helpful.
Good luck and keep us posted.[/quote]
The force is strong with ETCG
There is a TSB for that issue
vehicles with 4.6L engine and built before 1/28/08,
may exhibit a front end accessory drive (FEAD)
related high-pitched metallic whistle/hoot noise after
a cold soak in ambient temperatures below 40 °F
This noise may be caused by the grooved
FEAD idler pulley.
NOTE FEAD IDLER PULLEY NOISE MAY BE MOST
APPARENT AT OR NEAR COLD ENGINE IDLE SPEEDS (APPROXIMATELY 1200 RPM).[/quote]
Well I’ll be damned. So is this something that I can take up with a dealer and have them fix it for little to no cost, or do I have to possibly add an idler pulley to the shopping cart? haha

Thanks again to everyone’s advice and ideas! Over the weekend I’m going to swap the valve and hope everything gets squared away cause that noise is driving me nuts.
But yes I made sure to clean it with throttle body/intake cleaner and not to be too generous with it, a little spray and a Q-tip is what I used to clean it out. But I’ll bite the bullet and invest in a new one 😳 lol

Turns out to be the IAC is all worn out and old plus an ill fitting pcv hose. IAC I’m just going to get new but I’m going to find a mustang that someone is parting out to find the hose. Thanks again to everyone and thank you again Eric!

Sounds about right! When I cleaned it the noise was gone for about 2 or 3 days then started right back up at a much more constant rate. Thanks for the input guys! =D
