Hello, I have a 1987 Buick Regal Limited 3.8 2BBL OHV no turbo. My car has recently developed a noise coming from the air pump assembly. It is a high pitch whistle and it goes up in volume and pitch as my RPMs go up. Making it very very very irritating for me and anyone else on the highway (only a 3-speed auto) to hear "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" as we all go on our way.
I love my Regal and I drive my classic more than any other classic car owner. It has VERY low miles for its age so it is in very nice condition (in, out, and under the car). I would normally imagine a perfectly working car because it was an elderly woman's grocery-getter that was driven about 5-miles daily while she owned it (I am currently the 4th owner).
It is fully optioned and has all the bells and "whistles" (haha).
If anyone could give me their 2-cents on what my problem is, does it affect my engine, and how to fix it that would be greatly appreciated!!!
