I got some pics below, but wait till ya hear this! So this evening was still nasty humid/hot. Still humming like nuts. I started her up after sitting about 1/2 hr. Pulled the wiring off, and the engine died right away. Pluged back in and started up. Pulled the black thingy off, and guess what? The whistle/hum was gone! I put my finger over the tube that the black thingy covers and it sounded like a fog horn! So I figure the black thingy is some type of bypass to let more air in; the black thingy itself is some type of filter. Right now it's partially plugged causing a slight wistle. If it were totally plugged, it'd probably sound like when I plugged the bypass/intake w/ my finger. So the IAC isn't the problem, it's just that black thingy. Any way, here's some pics.
