No more codes, question though
I had a vss/psom code and an egr code on my 95 f150 5.8 4x4 w/e4od trans... two days ago I pulled the vac res. out and noticed it had a huge hole in the bottom so I made a new one out of some old pipe and some muffler cement and some silicone spray. I took the hose fittings off the old one and put them on the end of the pipe I used and it all seems to be working so far. I cleared the codes after I did this and then I drove it around for about an hour today and the cel never came on. Is it possible that the egr could have been causing the other code (vss/psom)? I doubt that it could but I figured I would ask. My other question is... I notice a whining/whistling noise when I'm driving but its only there when i'm stopped or slowing down with my foot off the accelerator. I had this issue once before and I was pretty sure it was a dirty throttle body, I cleaned it out about three weeks ago and it was good until today. Is there something else I could do to fix this. It seems to run ok but it sounds like the flap isn't closing enough and the air going by is making a noise like a hillbilly blowing across the mouth of a liquor jug... any input would be appreciated, thanks

i'm not sure it wasn't a stored code. I had some problems with it about a month ago in overdrive and that is when I checked the codes. I just figured it was related to the problem I was having. I haven't put it back on the freeway yet, there are a couple things I want to check first. I need to take out the vss and clean it and make sure none of the wiring is bad, and I want to change the fluid and filter in the trans as well before I do that also. I was pretty sure the two codes were unrelated. the truck has 226000 miles on it so I figured the vss/psom are about due for a good once over
