About a month ago I started having this chirping noise and everytime that the car chirps it kills the car. It chokes it out. The chirping sound, sounds like it is coming from the throttle. But we just can't tell. And none of the idiot lights are coming on. I replaced the fule filter and put some seafoam in the gas tank and that seemed to help for a day or two. And now it is doing it again and it does not matter if the car is cold or hot.

Check the Idle air control valve, if it's making noise, replace it. It's bolted to the side of the throttlebody.

Thank you I will do that now one has been able to give a resonable guess as to what it might be. How can I tell if it is making noise.
