It sounds like a vacuum leak causing a crazy idle.

damn your throttle cable aint even hooked up!

i also had a similar sound when i dissasembled the intake manifold from the head. i tried to remove as much manifold gasket as i could. when i assembled it back there was a leak, how did i know? well i sprayed carb cleaner all over and the engine wanted to die near injector #4. i tighten the nut on the manifold and it went away. hope this helps

Pinpoint the noise. Is it coming from the drive belt area or distributor?

not my car (its a piece of ****, btw)... its my neighbors.. and the TB cable has nothing to with the noise n e ways (o_0)

But the car is a ridged up, everything one could've done to cut corners has been done. and yes It does help because the noise does sound like its coming from the intake manifold
