Exclamation whining noise?

I have a 1998 XLT w/ the 4.0. It is currently misfiring on the 3rd cylinder and when it idles it makes a noise kind of like the sounds you here when you rub your finger on the rim of a glass bottle or wine glass. Anyone have any idea what the noise is?

I think that I may have had the same issue...it turned out to be the IAC motor...had to replace it and the sound went away. The best way to find out if that is causing your sound is to simply unplug it and if the sound goes away BINGO.
