Hey you guys, I'm hearing a tapping/ticking noise by my CAI piping. I'm not an aggressive driver or anything but i'm just wondering if anyone else here has this problem.
It's an Injen CAI and like when i was checking oil today I had the engine running, at first everything sounded normal but as the engine warmed up the tapping/ticking noise came up.

Clueless. Help please!

Belt?

 

Check to see if the Intake is rubbing up against the fender and make sure all of the bushings are in place correctly.

Most Toyotas have a relatively noisy valve train, which is also a loud ticking.

There looks like this is a screw missing on one of the clips on the intake..i can't really describe it..i'll take a picture and show u guys soon...even tho it's missing i'll hold the intake in place and it'll still be ticking...hmm...it sounds like....ur flapping a piece of thin plastic...u guys know what i mean?? like take a deck of cards and just flick a card...sounds like that...iono how to describe it..oh well haha

thanks for the suggestions so far.

oh yah how do i upload a picture onto this forum??

 

I have the same ticking.. people on this forum have said its normal.. it goes away with higher RPM's.. not sure what causes it... I have the AEM intake..

 

ohhhh good to see i'm not the only one with this problem...thanks for the heads up buddy! yah it does go away in the higher rpm's...well iono what it is but i guess it's nothin serious...also i'll post a picture up about that small screw thats missing...well it WAS on there but somehow came off..=/ also can someone fill me in on how to post a picture on here...

 

I have that noise too. Thing is, mine keeps ticking even after the ehgine shuts off. I think its my resonator.

 

I have the AEM intake also and mine just started ticking within the passed two weeks or so. It goes away when the engine revs higher than 1000. I guess it's normal, i dunno.

 

put a peice of electrical tape around your cai where it goes through the fender make it pretty thick or get a peice of ruber from like what you would put in a tool box for your tools not to slide around

 

get ready for a quick locking.

just copy and past if not directly linked.

lol this thread was dead....he actually solved the problem.

 

Does it sound like this , it's normal even the stock intake does this it just doesn't sound as loud, the CAI tube lets for more noise so it seems louder.

Almost every Toyota engine produce has had in Intake Valve tap. My Corolla GTS had it 200,000 mi still ran strong. My 86 Toyota 2WD, my Stepdad's 86 Toyota 4WD, Mom's 97 Camry and 05 RAV4, Brother's old 02 RAV4
and his new Highlander. I know my family has owned a lot of Toyota's (stepdad was a Toyota Master Tech for 20 years) there more but I'm sure you get my point (all but my cars where quieter b/c I have issues with driving a stock car).
