Default Squeak/hiss when hitting gas...

This might just be due to the cold but...

I went out to start the car the other day (in storage for the winter) and, after the engine warmed up to operating temp, I gave it a couple of quick shots... just to make myself feel better...

I heard a slight squeak/hiss when hitting the gas quickly and nothing when depressing slowly....

Probably nothing that a shot of WD-40 wouldn't cure but I found it interesting....

Is this normal? Does anyone elses car do this?

Its the throttle body. The flapper causes a whistle as air passes at a certain throttle positions. Next mod: make it louder!!!

Wooooooooo Woooooooooo
