I have recently replaced my water pump with a electric pump. I dont know if this has anything to with the noise. Anyways, I only hear it way I am driving. But only when I give it gas. I dont hear it when it is in park with throttle being applied. I dont have headers it is stock except for Borla cat back, and SLP air intake. My car has 40,000 miles on it. Any ideas, answers, possiblities, questions that would help.


Thanks in advance, Brian.

 

What does it sound like?

 

We need to know what kinda noise... Could be lifter tick.. Exhuast leak, Maybe CAI suckin in air? plenty of things it could be....

 

It sounds like air spuddering out of something.

 

check for an air intake leak (elbow, intake itself) make sure its called sealed. ESPEICALY on the bottom of the intake elbow where it meets the throttle body, it tends to fold if you dont put it on right and it causes a fairly large intake leak. Do you feel any power loss, or high idle at all?

 

Im pretty sure that I checked that but i could check again. As far as power loss, I havent noticed a difference. And it idles normal. Ihave never heard this before, but we recently put a crate GM motor in my Dads pickup and it is making the same noise?? Im usually pretty good at guessing what noises are but Im stumped!

 

I get that spuddering air sound myself.... I think it might be the CAI.... my car runs great... and as far as I know my elbow is sealed..

 

I found the problem!!! Thanks for all your replies:]

 

What was it?
