Default Pop noise

I get a popping noise every time I shut my car off. Doesn't matter how long it's been running for, it always does it. Sounds like it's coming from the throttle body but I can't tell for sure.

Anyone else have this noise?

BTW- Dealer said it was the throttle body blade shutting...

Stupid questions: Do you have a CAI? Does it sound like a puff of air?

If not, I'm way off base and of no help.

mine does it ... i think its just excess pressure from the intake or something pushing back out then the butterfly popping closed ...

but it has done it as long as ive had the car, only more noticeable when i installed the CAI ...

i also happen to be getting out of the car when i take the keys out, and the door is almost always open before turning it off ... but then ... i have a ritual thing and im tall as **** ... so getting in and out is an adventure in and of itself ...


my car probably when i get in and when i get out ...

Thanks
