 Newbie here - 2013 STS with whining noise?
Just got a 2013 sts and I’m hearing a whining noise, took off the left plastic and disconnected what looked like the mass airflow sensor and it stopped. Turned the key to the on position and it started making noise again. Is this normal or is something causing it to somehow have power to it constantly?

Hi Demar, welcome to the wonderful world of Spyders, SpyderLovers, and the Miles of Smiles you have to look forward to! 
That whining noise after you shut down is normal and is meant to be there! It can last for 30-40 minutes after shut-down; it's actually a servo holding the butterfly closed in the air intake. I believe it was extended out to last that long after a few Spyders had 'engine run-on' &/or burning issues - as in, call the fire brigade type burning issues! So you REALLY DO want it to be making that noise!

Hello and welcome to the SL forums Demar1230. Hope you enjoy your time here, lots of good information in all the different areas. Peter may be right about the noise. 2013 had some changes made. maybe someone else will chime in but look around until then, try the search and add the year 2013.
