[DML] Re: Whistling While Trying to Start



Just wanted to give an update to the group...

I figured out what the problem was.  I mistakingly installed the 
little bracket that holds a wire-loom, (on the top right side of the 
W-pipe), on the INSIDE along with the gasket.

I guess the gap created a major vacuum leak, because after I 
replaced it correctly, she runs again as if nothing happened.

Stupid mistake but an easy fix!
