It could be a vacuum leak in the throtle body or intake manifold. Get some carb cleaner and check it. Be careful as the cleaner is flamable.GoodluckJoe

What could cause the transmission on a 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan to make a shuddering sound while the engine is idling but it stops when accelerating?
This vehicle is notorious for a "whining" noise. The slower you drive, the louder it is. At first I thought our power-steering pump was going, or the transmission was whining. Two mechanics told me it's normal. Just a quirk with Dodge/Chrysler products. I had that whining noise and it was the alternator making the noise through the radio. even when the radio is off. Just a thought.

I replaced the v-belts on my 04 sentra 1.8 and now it makes a whining noise that gets louder as you give it gas and when you down shift it whines down. Bad tensioner Please help.?
you just didn't tighten the tensioner enough it needs to be tightened until that noise doesn't occur at high rpm's.

What would cause whining in a Chrysler Town and Country while driving when the speed is accelerated it gets louder?

What causes a whining noise when idling and gets louder when you accelerate?
It sounds like the power steering pump to me. my guess would be that you have a bad or loose belt ( sliping ) or you have a pully that is gonna either come flying off or lock up completely....neither is good. also a tight belt can cause the whine if it is tight the whine could be coming from the pulley bearings (alternator etc)
Why is 1999 Chrysler cirrus whining while driving?
For me it was the idler pully. A pretty cheap part. $15 I think. And only an hour or so to change. The problem was the bearing in it was shot. It would make a whining sound that got louder/higher pitch as the engine revved higher.
Does a plane sound louder taking off or landing?
A plane sounds much louder landing than on take-off. A single engine land plane revs up the engine to maximum power for take-off and climb-out. Maximum power equates with maximum noise. While landing, the same aircraft typically has the engine idling. Idling equates with minimum noise.

What could cause a humming or whining sound from a 2001 Altima engine after cranking continuing when driving it is louder when accelerating and decelerating also very noticeable when turning corners?
Check the power steering pump for the cause of the noise. I sounds like the pump is causing the whining and is either low on fluid or possibly going bad.
When stepping on the gas you get a whining sound and it gets louder as you step on the accelerator also some of the instrument panel lights flicker?
The whining sound may be the bearings in the alternator and they may be seizing up or draging and possibly your belt is slipping on the pulley. Do you have a voltage gauge in your instrument panel? Or just a warning light like a picture of a battery?
