I have a 2000 SVT. I put a replacement K&N Filter in the original filter housing. Everthing was runnin fine, I was happy. Then I was rollin with my window down and I noticed this high pitch whistle just when I was pressing my gas peddle. I noticed the whistle again when I was lettin off the gas at about the same peddle postion. I thought maybe there was some obsticles in my air flow in the fendor. Nothing. . .so I proceeded to inpect my air flow a little futher. I noticed a gasket/screen inbetween my filter houseing and my air flow sensor housing/tube. I took it out and tried to seat the two housings together again and noticed the gap and was evident that the gasket was needed sooooooo. . . .I tore the screen out of the gasket and put it back together. Everthing seemed to be goin good, but there was still the whistle /sigh. Now, when I start my car it revs very high, near 3-3.5 for about 10 seconds then drops to about 1750 then drops down to about 750 after anther 5 seconds. Do you know if these problems are related? Did I screw up? I went to my ford dealer and they wanna charge me 35 dollars for that gasket/screen. Will that fix my problem? Any help is appreciated.
