ES214

Two days ago (Tuesday) my CEL came on. I went to the local Autozone and was told that there is a misfire in cylinders #1 and #2. I called my mechanic and he said it is likely the plugs but could be the coils, so i'm going to him tomorrow morning to get them replaced.

This morning though, I turned on the car and immediately noticed a "whining/buzzing" noise that intensified when I turned the steering wheel left in park. I did not hear this noise on Tuesday when the CEL came on.

I took the car for a quick drive around the neighborhood and I noticed that the "whining" also intensified when I accelerated. Could this be related to the misfire or do you think this is an entirely separate issue? Fwiw, i'm in Texas and the weather has been between 40 and 60 degrees the past two days.

I wanted to ask you all if this whining noise is symptomatic of the misfiring issue.

Thanks!
