Ok so yeah, third time lucky, my mechanic finally got it right, with the advice he gave me. He did the other 2 repairs but could never find the sound. I did this one myself.it was the butterfly in the manifold,(not the throttle body) or else the intake manifold actuator, that attaches to it just bou...
