Well, my service engine light came on this afternoon .. there is only 220 miles on my new Mustang .....

Any guesses as to what it is. It kinda soudnsl iek their is a high whistle when i accelerate, but I htink its jsut when the engine has been in the cold for awhile. It goes away after 5 minutes of driving

Geeze ...

there's been a few threads on it. It's because of a problem with the gas tank vent tube, if I remember correctly. try a search, you should find it. as far as the whistle.... I can't say.... perhaps you got one of the 7 dwarves under your hood.
