Hey guys, I drive a stock 05 xA and today I lifted my hood while it was running to give a friend of mine a jump start, and I noticed that at idle, the intake on my xA was shaking almost violently.
Is that just normal for the 1.5L or is there something seriously wrong. The intake is the stock one, no mods yet. Is there a bracket that could be broken or something, just wondering.

Let me know guys, would really appreciate it!!!

Oh and also, its a 5 speed, if that helps any....

 

well its gonna shake a little, but i dunno if it is supposed to shake violently, it moves with the engine

i think it could be a loose bolt or something of the sort,

or you have bad vision,

either or, take it to a dealership to get it checked out, unless you are one of those.........................;-)

 

thanks for the input i guess, and no i dont have bad vision. The intake was just shaking so much and the engine wasnt even moving that i thought something major was wrong. It probably is just a loose bolt or something, just wondering if any one else has ran into this problem before and if it was serious.

 

My xB idles hard sometimes too, unfortunately I don't think its anything abnormal.

Did you have the air conditioning on? I've noticed in many cars, particularly with 4 cylinders, that when the compressor clutch engages the engine will shake some under the additional load. It shouldn't shake for long or constantly.

 

If I remember right nothing holds the stock air box in the place it is except the shape of the intake tubing.

 

NAH, It just rough idle and the a/c thing is correct too. NOthing to worry about just happens, mine does it too... no worries

 

thanks guys, i am worry free now!!!
