vacuum cleaner noise?

[Workhorse]

Hello,

I hope someone can help answer this for us, what is the noise that sounds like a vacuum cleaner coming from the passenger front wheel well? It turned on when I was trying to get the truck started this morning and now it seems it won't shut off. Is it ok? Will it shut off some time soon? I can post video of it if nece3ssary.

Forgive the questions, the 200 series is really foreign to me. I am helping my parents troubleshoot the reason their 2008 wont start and this is a side issue. 2009 Intermittent Starting Issues - Help Appreciated

won't start (occasionally)

Any help with this vacuum cleaner noise and starting issues is very appreciated.

I can't seem to upload video. Any idea why Mark? Never tried before now. Photos yes, video no. The below link will work to show what I am talking about. The 200 is a very different animal. I'm not used to it and don't know enough about it to be comfortable nor confident.

Thank you in advance.

Try uploading to Youtube.. super easy. If you are worried about privacy or something just set it to "unlisted" so you have to give us the link to view it.

Passenger front wheel well is where the Air Injection Pumps are located.. usually they shut down once the cats have some heat in them..

If they were behaving other than normal I'd expect a check engine light.

Are you saying the noise is present even when the truck isn't running?

I appreciate all of the insight and follow up. forgive me, I am not a 200 person. Therefore most logic goes out the window when working on one of these. Too many electronics that foul things up that I dont't understand. I beg everyone's patience with me as I learn new "20 year old tech". I can try to upload if that is necessary, however if you can load the link to help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thankyou.

Strange video service, but it worked for me.

Wow. Viewed the video, and that is truly loud.

Something going on with your air intake for sure.
I’ve never heard anything like that...but the intake is partially directed by the plastics that are often tweaked when adding an aftermarket bumper... Intake is definitely routed by the passenger wheel well. Makes me wonder if something is caught in there and making a racket...

I’d turn it off...open the hood and look in the engine filter housing and see if something is loose, or if you can get a better handle on the location with your ears under hood.

If you are stationary and no crud in the engine bay (so no chance of leaves or crud getting into the intake past the filter box)...open the filter box...vacuum out any sand or crud loose in there...run the engine with the filter box open and filter out. If no noise...put the filter back in, close the box and startup again. If the noise is back, I think it means you might have something obstructing or caught the intake path near the wheel well.

On the bright side, I’d wager it’s a very low-tech thing...like maybe a piece of a plastic grocery bag that got sucked in there...

Just my dumb 2 cents...so proceed with care...
