My maintenance required light blinks when i turn the car on...
Everytime i turn the car on, the maintenance required light blinks a few times then turns off. However, everytime it blinks a fwe more times, and its now at the point where it blinks for like 30 seconds straight. Also, when i step on the gas and get on it at a medium level, it makes almost like a whistling noise. If anyone has any tips on what i should do, i'd appreciate it. thanks

The Maintence Required light will come on at preset intervals (by mileage).
It doesn't mean anything's wrong. It just means you should take it in for service (or do it yourself). This includes, but isn't limited to, oil changes, tire rotations, etc.
After a few days, it will stay on. If you feel under the steering column, there is a little square button that you can press to turn it off. Just hold down the button for a few seconds.
Don't forget to change your oil.

do a search for "maintenance required" in both active and archived topics, this should give you more than enough information about that!
as to your whistling noise, if you don't have a stock intake it is a normal opperational sound.

Considering the gas tank is pressurized, that makes sense. Ever notice that when you take off the gas cap it hisses? That's the pressure in the tank. The whistling could be the pressure leaking by.
