Whistle - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #49932 12 posts Started by kerosene
I got a question, I am getting a weird whistle coming from somewhere when i floor the gas pedal, it sounds like its coming out of the exhaust pipe, but there is no hole there, and its not a rumble, someone told me to look in the oil pan, but i have no way of lifting the car up...this is possible considering that I'm missing oil once in a while....so quite possibly...lemme know if you have any ideas of what it can be..
Mine does the same thing sometimes. It has actually been mistaken for a turbo on several occasions.
nothing wrong. just the awesome power of the celica engine kicking in.

really? it just doesnt sound right....
that's the sound of air flowing through the air filter while at wide open throttle

If you don't see any spots where you've been parked, then it is probably burning off. Do you see any smoke when you start the car or while driving?

I just noticed today, that when i start my car i have a bunch of grayish smoke....its not a whole lot....but its a descent amount...is there any way of checking if i am in fact burning oil, and is there a way to fix it?
blue smoke always is burning oil.
valve seals?? nothing you can do about it really
unless you want to rebuild your motor.

OR you can replace the valve seals in the head

Smoke on startup usually indicates valve seals. I believe that they can be replaced without removing the head
