Whining sound
I have a Whining sound on my Civic 2012 when I press and release the throttle in low gears and when idling. The engine sounds and runs great, other than a whining sound. I just had the tensioner replaced, and the whining went, and now, a few days later, it is back the same as before. Any ideas, please. Could it be the PVC valve?

Re: Whining sound
dying cat sounding whine (akin to supercharger whine) or more like a squealing sound?
Also, MT or AT?

I would say dying cat sounding whine lol The garage got rid of it for a few days but its back, he said everything else looked and felt ok. The tensioner bearings were not good, as he had shown me, so he replaced.

I tend to attribute "dying cat" whine sounds to transmission moreso than engine. Does it happen in neutral?
