Hello all, I just installed an Injen cold air intake on my completely stock 2003. When I rev the engine I get a high pitched squeak right before the engine sound builds up. It's annoying, what could be causing this?

I thought I had an air leak somewhere, so I took the intake completely apart and reinstalled the whole thing and it still does it.

Also, at the end of the video, you can see when the needle falls back down it goes down to like 400rpms and almost stalls out. It's only been doing this since I installed the intake yesterday.

Here's a video that I shot with my phone.

Thanks.

 

I'm guessing its just a bonus with Injen intakes, I have one and I have the same squeek at around 3-5k rpm.

 

That's the air being sucked in by the cai

 

Irony is most people get intakes for the sound...

As far as the rpm dip, my guess is the cpu is still getting used to the new bolt ons and hasnt adjusted for it yet.

 

you un/re-installed your intake because of that sound?!? How in the world do you not know that's normal?

 

LOL Just sounds like some good ol air getting sucked in?

 

Sounds like just air being sucked into the CAI.
On the stalling problem...you sure all connectors/clamps have a good seal?
Especially important at your air sensor.Also,did you disconnect the battery(negative
pole)while doing the installs?Or,did you start the car during the install?
Possibly you need to reset your ECU with the standard procedure.

 

POOR Noob haha.. its ok you have to learn somehow.

 

My Injen did that as well

 

It's completely normal
