i started geting a ticking sound after isnstalling a injen cai.it ticks after the car warms up then starts ticking when idling

Batjew

i get that too, i realized it's a valve under the intake.

wc01

can you get rid of that sound

Batjew

let me repeat that. it's valve, a part of the engine, that i would assume needs to run.

wc01

oh my fault,so in other words i'll have to live with that sound

Batjew

ya, i've kinda learned to live with it too, I'm curious what it's for though, maybe PCV valve?

Batjew

actually, do you have a 5spd by chance?

wc01

would the trd cai do this also

Artur

Most likely its your injectors. They're that loud...trust me.

My K&N did that, and it turned out that the bracket behind the fender was loose.

PghtC

i can hear a light ticking and I don't have an intake. The injectors I believe...and yes they are loud...

wc01

why am i the only one with a cai that realizes this its weird.you can hear it tick in side the car.if it is the injecters shouldnt it get louder with a higher engine speed

I just installed mine last saturday and I hear the same thing, even inside the car. It dosen't appear to be coming from the intake itself, as the sound sorta eminates from somewhere near the firewall and not the fender where the filter is. I guess all the plastic and rubber from the oem intake kinda muffled the noise before.

wc01

is there any way to get rid of it.SOMEONE HELPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANOTHER THING DOES HAVING A CAI VOID MY WARRANTY

Batjew

if it was installed by the dealer no. otherwise it won't void unless the dealer can prove that IT specifically cause the problem, otherwise you can so them, know your rights.

Batjew

that's what would be ticking sometimes, it's part of the AC system, yes it is annoying, but it's not like you can take it off and expect the car to be fine without it, so just deal.

jamcube23

that AC system could be mildely tapping the intake so you might try some type rubber around the intake next to the AC so it doesnt tap it and make that noise you cant stand.

wc01

i already checked all that there is nothing touching the intake and it always makes that noise after it warms up in the morning and only when it idles

I have the same noise, it just recently started, I drove around for months and never had that noise, don't know why I have it now, I just ignore it now.
