Re: XJ Air Box Question...

Vacuum leak. The "flap" is vacuum controlled like Mike said. KH

OK, so where do I start looking for a "vac leak"? Under the hood? behind the radio?

Suggestions? (other than a dwarf chipmunk!)

Thanks

If you can hear the whistling from inside, it may be quicker to stick your head under the dash and see if you can get a better idea of the direction its coming from. It *may* be from out under the hood so check. A cheap stethoscope or just a hunka hose stuck in your ear might help.
