Ken, I thank you for all of your support! You have been most helpful. I think we can List this one as case closed!
I have found the source of the "Most Annoying Wine!" [And I believe will set the P0171/P0174 right as well!]
Apparently in one of my many sojurns under the hood, I misplaced it, or it fell off, or something happened to a fairly critical piece of tubing. I actually had a picture of it posted, but dismissed it as the problem, as it appeared to be part of the fuel rail.
Yesterday, I threw up my hands, and visited a fellow that owns a shop (and has a smoke machine). Coincidently he owns a Chevy Express Van. Within 30 seconds after we started it up - and he put his thumb over the port - the whine stopped - Case Closed! Didn't even need the smoke machine. Just a set of fresh eyes to view the situation. The photo is "The Culprit.
We then spent 30 minutes trying to find the what and where it would/should belong.
Later, back home I found more details regarding location of the MAF, airflow, crankcase flow, and how important that little tube could be! Yes important! Surprisingly, I only found its information in the Tri-Five and Corvette web pages. No good diagram showing that port connected to the intake! But now I know.
I will be reworking my aftermarket intake setup too. That vacuum pick up will be placed just ahead of the throttle body, and the MAF will be 11 inches from the butterfly. Those seem to be values that others have found that work.
Again - your support and encouragement was very helpful. Thanks again. I'll highly recommend 2carpros! Regards, Jim
