Do you only get the noise while driving? If so it could well be the throttle/cruise control cable/s vibrating. (Yeah wild sounding eh?!) Check that both cables are supported on their little black clip "thingys" (tec. jargon you know!) I had this trouble for a while, local FORD tec. suggested re-routing the cables, and even attatching a cloth to the cables individually to see which one is causing the noise. Good luck. P.S. I really hope that it is not something burning! Last edited by DavidBC; 08/06/03 10:16 PM.
