I own a CSVT 99, And everymorning or if it has been sitting for a while my car, when started up will make a loud Humming noise... Yes Hummin noise, almost like a moose lol, im sorry dont know how else to say it. But it usually only happens once or twice, till its warmed up... But tonight it did it several times, and even when warmed up... I can get the car to do it now almost on command, if i am traveling at 25 or higher and take it out of gear and rev it to 4, then let it drop, then rev it again and then it will make the noise... But if i do it more than once, it will kill the car... :confused::shrug::help:... I am totally confused and really need some guidance on this... Please help!:help::help::help::cry:... Can give you more details as well if needed
 
Do a search for "moose". You are being visited by the moose. It comes from the IAC. It sometimes helps to clean the IAC. The throttle hang fix sometimes takes care of it (or at least reduces it) (do a search for throttle hang). Sometimes a new IAC solves it (sometimes not).

It is harmless, just an annoyance. It usually shows up when there is a temperature change in the weather, as part of colder weather onset.
 
Ok many thanks, and will get back to you on the details of finding this "Moose" in the Engine bay... lol its kind of embarrasing and only resently started, but i have had the car for over 2 years and its never done that.
