Never heard of anyone having issues with an intake valve going bad.

lol I know, I was just being an ***. & yeah, I haven't either. I wish I weren't the first, but, all in all, it's relatively minor.

very strange, oh and i misread what you wrote.
I thought it was something along the lines that you hadn't found out yet and were just making up a problem to eff with greg.

I read what I want to I guess.

Thats crazy though, how do they just figure out you have a worn intake valve

There's still something not right with it. At idle, there's a ticking noise I noticed today.

I'm leaving the car at the dealer overnight to figure out what's wrong.

It's there. I don't feel that they're ******* me over or anything. I've brought my car to this dealership a few times & they've been great.

Awesome.
if its increasing with vehicle speed then its probably drivetrain related.


i would demand a refund on labor charges if the intake valve didn't fit it. or the whole deal. thats their fault for misdiagnosing it.

that **** works wonders if your injectors are dirty/gummed up. usually higher mileage cars.

I'm going to see what the diagnose is before I get overly exasperated.

So after I installed the injen exhaust, I used my 3" gaskets and I had an exhaust leak by the test pipe. I thought it would work but it didn't. I went to autozone and bought some smaller gaskets and it worked wonders. Woot woot! It may sound Wierd but my car feels like it has a lot more torque.

Went from a 3" txs w/y pipe to a 60mm (2.25") true dual. Makes a diff... Gonna do a retune shortly.

Yea I know it does work alot but they charge out the *** for it and all you have to do is go buy the shyt from autozone and put it in your gas tank.

well golfing was fun today. . .i couldn't tell you how many ***** i lost in the process of coming in last place but it was nice. . .too windy for golf though. . .i don't know if i got a sun burn or wind burn. . .

is there another website out there that lets you hear all or a lot of exhaust sounds before you buy them like everything350z.com used to. . .

I have the same amount of posts as my area code. . .
