It only happens in the morning on 1st startup of the day and just turns off after initial warmup (maybe a minute or so) Seems to be coming from the area of the alternator. It's kind of a loud metalic whine. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Sounds like a smog pump issue to me. Mine hasn't been plugged in for years and it is just fine - and passes emissions. There is only one wire lead to the pump - follow it out of the pump and up towards the passenger's side fender until you see a connection, then disconnect it. Just make sure you drive it around and get it nice and hot before going in for emissions, or plug the pump in for emissions testing only.

Thanks guys, will check out smog pump. BTW, no emissions testing in Iowa so no worries!
