Every time my ST has been sitting for a while, there's an odd whistling noise when I first start it up that seems to be coming from somewhere in the engine.
It's kind of a hollow, constant whistle/whine that goes on for a few moments. Then, the RPMs settle down and the noise goes away. If I don't wait long enough for it to quit on its own, the RPMs drop and the noise goes away as soon as I put it in gear.
Could this be a precursor to the dreaded cracked elbow, or something else? I haven't thrown a code, and there doesn't seem to be any effect on performance.
Thoughts?
