some werid things happend to my car after the intake installation. My car is always making some kind of buzzing sound after the intake installation, I'm pretty sure it's not the whistle sound, also everytime when I turn my key tring to start my car, I feel a vibratition, and the car sounds like the key is been over turing but it's not.
please help!

 

you should check for an air leak first to see if thats causing the noise. Buzzing may be a loose heat sheild. is the noise under the hood?

 

What kind of intake did you put on? Make sure everything is connected securely and no metal is rubbing against metal.

Why don't you pop your hood and listen to the sound you are describing outside the car, so you can see where the noise is coming from.

Disconnect the battery overnight and see if most of your peoblems disappear. The engine computer is confused, so to speak, with the new intake and needs to "re-learn" how the engine is supposed to run.

I used to have an filter with the stock plastic pipe with no problem,so I doubt it's the problem about the computer, hmm... I will try to take some pics later on also see where the sound is coming from. thx for the help guys!

 

Alrite here is the pic of my intake, please help me to see if I did anything wrong with the installation. Btw I think the buzzing sound is from the throttle body and the intake rubber part but I'm not sure.

Thanks!

 

Mine did this same thing. It was a result of the intake rattling against the fender. I loosened the bolt and moved it away (1 inch should do it) and then retightened it. Hope that helps.

 

yeah Dan, I'm sure it helps him 5 yrs later..

 

lol

 

Pm Him

 

Classic.....

 

Nobody had replied since his last post. Just trying to help the guy out. It must be annoying having the rattle for 5 years though huh?
