Vacuum Switching Valve
Just put in my K&N CAI. Nice sound, really not that much difference in performance. I have a question about the Vacuum Switching Valve. In Idle position, this part make a ticking noise. When I give the car gas, it stops and then it comes back on once in idle for a few seconds. I don't know if it always did this when the stock intake system was in. I just want to make sure this is normal? If this is not normal does anyone know how to stop it? Please help.
P.S. Yes, I did a search already and found nothing.

Are you sure? Have you heard this noise before? It sounds loud.Originally posted by lo bux racer@Jan 8 2006, 04:33 PM

Yes, I've heard many VSVs tick. This one controls evaporative emissions purge and cycles when you are at idle. Did you attach it to something metal?
Yes. The directions said to bolt it to a peice that comes out of the intake pipe so it stays in place. And the intake pipe is metal. Whats with that?Originally posted by lo bux racer@Jan 8 2006, 05:16 PM

What with the metal? And are you sure it is ok for it to be ticking?
It's amplifying the noise. VSVs are usually rubber mounted to isolate them from anything that will amplify the sound they make. That's why you're hearing it now, and didn't hear it before.
I'm having the same problem...So, Lance, You are saying that if we isolate it using some piece of rubber it is going to help, right?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Yep. It was mounted to a rubber piece in the beginning, that's why you couldn't hear it. Now it's beating on a metal plate, and it's noisy.
Ok. Well thanks for everything. Im gonna try to plug some rubber thing a majig in there somewhere. Hopefully it will go away. Kind of annoying.
Rubber washer helped. But not right away next day, strange isn't it?
But anyway the sound is pretty quiet I can live with it.

OMG ive been wondering what the hell that sound was. I have a Weapon R intake so i dont have any metal peice to connect it to, any ideas ?
well it is but i mean like all the other intakes have a little part on the pipe that sticks out so you can clip the eva thing to them. With the Weapon R there is no such part.
Here is a pic of Schubs intake and you can clearly see the little metal black piece sticking out. I dont have that so what do I do ?
