*sigh* Another TRD CAI query


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys...

I know we're all sick of seeing CAI questions and queries.. but i couldnt find on here anything relating to this question.

I installed a TRD CAI on last night... followed all the Guides to a tee...

i am getting a ticking noise... its not relative to the engine speed, or road speed. Hppens at idle when the car is warm.. happend to a lesser degree when i am cruising at low RPM I believe it to be VSV related...

although seeing as i am not running the VSV... what else could it be?

another weird thing about it is that its louder in the cabin than the engine bay.. i am just hoping its some form or sound transfeerrence.

any clues or pointers where i should look next are appreciated.

I have the same problem, its the Blue VSV.. once it starts to tick hard, pop the bonnet and feel it. It will give out a slight tap each time it ticks. I have read that it does not affect the car in any way, beside being damn annoying. Have been looking it up (dont have my car here so I cannot test) Try taking it off any metal orif its touching the cars body, just let it hang), some people are saying it can be amplifyed through the car.
