Ok so i installed an Injen Cold Air Intake Around... August and now it is October, The Weather in now near it's 30-40s. I've never heard this noise until now. Its coming from the Vacuum Switching Valve (VSV). I've been lookin at some other threads but they dont give me a straight answer... could anyone help me? is this normal or not?

 

You should get a HAI (hot air intake) since it's cold out now

Sorry, i have no clue.

 

maybe the cai is rattling with the body frame from where you put the tube out from.

 

yup its rubbing on the frame. did you put that rubbing thing that youre suppose to put on the frame so you cant hear the rattle when it vibrates? my intake came with one and it helps eliminate the rattling noise.

 

Mine is rattling from the same place. and i have the rubber sutff on the frame...

 

did you check if its still there? it tends to fall off.

 

i've been having same problem, and just ordered dr isotopes CAI bracket that is supposed to help that. its like 20$ shipped if you wanna try that

 

^^^ EXACTLY

 

Yea too bad I have that and mine started to rattle also. Maybe the cold weather does have something to do with it, cus mine never used to do it.

 

oho k, mine has rattled for a while against the fender until i put a rubber grommet there and then that fell outta place, that is why am trying this, only other thing i can think of is to check everything to make sure its tightened?

lol guys i know my CAI rattles and all, but i specifically said the Vacuum Switching Valve is clicking.... but thanks for the link to dr. isotope, i will definitely get that now. back to the "VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE (VSV)" anyone?..

 

oh my fault, sorry about that, hmmmm is there something caught in there?

 

doesnt seem like it, i think i may have solved the problem, just took some stuff off n cleaned it n then reseted the ecu.. now its quiet again... except for the CAI... RAWR!

 

hahah good to hear

 

Mine clicks time to time too.........not sure why,car is running fine though and I have SRI.........hard to say.

 

if u listen closely to the Vacuum Switching Valve it should click, almost everyone says its normal, the VSV is the thing with the green cap on it.. but now i have a different problem, when im inside the car i think i hear my CAI rattling.. it never did that until now..

 

it ticks to control warm idle..
it's normal.. don't worry about it.

as far as rattle.. check to see if anything is loose.. open up the hood and wiggle it yourself... see if it is hitting against anything

 

my bad, just read a couple posts up.

 

it only does it when im in drive so dont know whats moving, but i do know that theCAI rattles... so im just assuming that, but i've never heard the thing rattle from the inside of my car until now..
