!air question...squeaking-ticking sound Hey guys i need some more help diagnosing this issue cause i have to fix it this weekend.
about 3 months ago i did the !air mod and about a month ago i started to get this weird low ticking with kind of a squeak to it that sounded like it was coming from the coil pack area on the drivers side of the motor. So i checked for exhaust leaks and the only one i found was where the block off plate was on the drivers side. So i did the restrictor mod (so my ses light would shut off) and made some better strong gaskets. now the sound has gotten louder, and i can even hear it inside the car like its coming outof my dash! I've checked to see if i was throwing codes yesterday and got nothing. Everything checks out to be running perfectly normal, but this ticking, squeaking sound, its driving me crazy.
Now my question is...when i did the !air mod i never completely removed the system, just put on the block off plates and bolted everything back up cause i originally planned to do the restrictor mod. Is teh vacuum on the air system strong enough to wear out the check valve? to the effect that when i hooked it back up and used the restriction mod that it just accelerated the time the valves burned up?
Thanks for any input
