Loud whinning noise during cold starts...
I own a 2001 Caravan 3.3. I get a loud whinning noise coming from the engine after it's been sitting outside in the cold weather. The whinning noise persists for about 30-45 secs and then goes away. Once the van is warmed up you do not here anything.
Just spent $200 at the shop on a pulley and tensioner. Brought it home, let it sit outside for a good hour and you guessed it the noise is still there.
Any ideas would be appreciated

There is I think a TSB on it.
