ever since i cleaned my EGR valve out, my intake has been louder. I can hear the constant "woosh" of air much louder now.

I dunno if its cos i need to recharge the filter or something. I did clean everything with throttle body cleaner, also i messed with the Idle screw a little to get it set at a nice number (700rpm)

So please watch this video and tell me what you think. I put the camera next to the filter so you can hear it, and i also put it next to my pulleys so you can hear all the other cool sounds a lancer engine makes

(my car is running amazing by the way, with no obvious problems, also no CEL)

also a pic of my engine bay
mods: intake, testpipe, FPR, engine damper, filled front mount

 

btw, it sounds a lot louder on this video than it does in person. the volume in real life is that of then you turn off the ignition and the intake makes the usual "woosh" sound. Except this is constant



also just to clarify. the sound is coming from the filter. My vac gauge is reading between 20-25 at idle



update: removed intake, checked everything, reinstalled it, also tried a new filter. Problem is still there.

also noticed a little more oil coming back from the valve cover line than usual. But other than that, everything looks normal

 

bump

maybe your car is try'en to turn into a dsm. haha
i think its sayen "turbo me now". haha

 

lol, its pretty funny cos i have a cold right now, and my car sounds the same as me when i breath.

 

had a theory, tell me what you think.

I'm thinking that maybe the butterfly valve isn't sitting properly or something, or it isn't opened/closed like it should be at idle, Cos i adjusted the idle screw.

 

makes sense, but then wouldnt it idle high (if it was open)

 

ok so i adjusted the idle screw. Same sound even when i lowered the rpm's to below 500, although it was a lot quieter.

i also retook a video with some lighting. Also you can hear the clicking sound at the end when i kill the engine. Keep in mind that the camera makes the intake sound waaay louder than it really is

my car makes the ticking noise ever since i bought it!!
thats normal!!
and btw u cant even hear my intake at idle.......

 

yeh i just talked to John about it, he said the same thing.
i have NEVER heard that noise before.

 

yea its just the idle air control valve moving........

 

oh well. anyway, back to the wooshing sound. anyone got any theories?
