Don't worry I have a 99 and it does the same thing and mine is loud. And after i put a K&N intake kit on it it just made it louder. So no you're not alone with your problem.

mines a '98 and just started doing the same thing. I unhooked the wire to the maf and the noise quit. It only does it for a few minutes but it is annoying. Does it need cleaning or replaced?

DO NOT disconnect the MAF, it is a critcal sensor. I would just replace the IAC if I had the problem.

I unhooked it for a second and hooked it back up just to see if it was doing all the whining.
