Throttle Body Whistle

So i just rebuilt my stock OEM carb/throttle body in my 1989 Chrysler Fifth Ave. 318 5.2 2bbl. I rebuilt it because I had a vacuum leak because the dbag who owned the car before used an adhesive on the gaskets... What a tool right? Well after the rebuild I no longer have any vacuum leaks, but my throttle body whistles when I step on the gas. When I'm at a constant speed it doesn't whistle, and when I'm accelerating past 70mph it doesn't whistle. I think it might be my idle control valve, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks.

Re: Throttle Body Whistle

Hi USAmade, hope its not too late to reply. If you have a carb the whistling is most likely coming from the throttle plate or throttle shaft which are probably worn....not a major issue but if it bothers you its replacement time.
