I think my throttle body has given up the ghost, starts whistling as soo as you start the engine and no whirr whirr noise on startup or shutdown,
I have a trip to do to Reading and back tommorow (300 mile round trip) so no chance of changing it before next week, will the car be OK to drive with a knackered throttle body, not sure if it's jammed shut or open?

If it was jammed shut the engine shouldn’t start!

It'll only be a problem if it closes the throttle plate and it stick closed, as the engine won't run. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.
2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone.
2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone.
Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver.
1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project.

Ah cheers, just have to turn the radio up to drown out the whistling then.. 😊
