ok i got a second "mechanic" to vouch that theres suppose to be a sensor for the stock intake and i guess i took it out and didnt put it back in. and that is why my car is acting up.
anyone know where this sensor they are talking about at?

 

the only thing i could even imagine being a sensor was this:

 

that thing doesnt do anything



so why dont these 'mechanics' tell you what sensor you ruined

 

maybe its my TPS that messing up the cl?

 

whats teh car doing

 

nah i think they're talking about the MAF sensor, but we are one of the few cars that dont have MAF sensors

 

looks like they dont know whta they are talking about

 

its wont start, and if it does it'll idle for a sec and die, i took out the intake to see whats up and i noticed when it died there was smoke that puffed out the intake manifold

 

hmmm.. check engine lights?

 

ok i think what it is a vacuum leak, i didnt put any clamps on the intake besides the one that goes onto the manifold and the filter, i just put a clamp on the big vaccum tube, but i have another little vacuum tube connected near the manifold, and its connected to this thing wire 3 sets of tubes/wires.
im basicly set that this is a vacuum leak because its starts a little easier now, runs longer than earlier today. im gonna take some pictures to see what you guys thing

 

must be a pretty damn big vacuume leak. When I forgot to connect one of the tubes on my intake manifold the other day, it started up but idled really high, then idled up and down while running really rich.

 

HAHA WOW! Are you serious? You didn't clamp a rubber tube that will have air moving through it at rapid speeds? I'd say that's a major overlook on the installation of an intake

 

idk but i put on those clamps the car starts right up
yesterday when i was coming back home from work, the cl stalled out infront of a redlight for a good 5mins, i sat thru 4 redlights cranking it, i have some pictures of stuff idk what it is

 

i used all the clamps that came with it, i didnt realise that i had to use 3 more, possibly 4 if this line im about to show needs sealed too

 

Ahh! Mine came with like 90 clamps, I still have some left over. I'm about to switch out the 3-piece metal set that connects to the throttle body out for the rubber tubing that came with the intake. I did a makeshift connection using a rubber tube from the metal piece to the intake. It only took two clamps and a piece of rubber tubing to get the 3-piece metal thing conencted to my intake (I don't know what it's called)

 

gotta make sure that rubber is clamped down good

 

the clamps i over looked and the orginal "mechanic" over looked

 

The Clamps

is this tube suppose to be connected?

The tube line leads to this thing that was smoking when the intake shoots back smoke when it couldnt start

and that thing leads to this box

that little thingy makes a whistling sound too...wth is it?

 

and i gotta give credit to clubrsx for making me check my vacuum lines

Thats your stock resonator if thats what youre referring to.

 

is the stock resonator suppose to whistle? and is it suppose to be connected the the intake also?

 

It connected to the stock intake. When you put on a CAI, the resonator comes out, but if you have a SRI, it doesnt need to come out. At the bottom of the filter box, theres a rubber fitting that goes into the resonator fitting.

 

i have a sri.......wheres it suppose to go??

 

 

lol are you gonna just sit there and stare?!

 

What do you mean where is it supposed to go?

 

wtffffff






i'l take some pics of my car tomorrow

 

It connects right off the throttle body! How can you already have it installed and driving it and then ask where does it go? Post a pic of your entire engine bay. Remove the old stock resonator if it is whistling.

 

lol i meant the resignator

 

ok i talked to a real mechanic this time at the dealership and he happens to be my supervisor at work.......he says i need a new IAC
