Hello all!
I just picked up a little 2002 Toyota Sienna with 170k miles. Clean history with regular maintenance per Carfax and seems well cared for.
PO stated that the vehicle had been parked for a year and recently decided to sell it vs letting it rot. He had the oil, transmission, spark plugs and filters changed the week prior to sale.
I noticed yesterday upon start up (engine cold, ambient temps about 100), there was a whine from the engine bay that lasted about 20 seconds after ignition. My hearing is not great but it sounded similar to a 1990's GM power steering pump whine when loaded.
The van runs, shifts and drives great.
Any ideas on where I should start to identify the cause or is this a common sound from these old Toyota 3.0's?
Thank you!
