Early today, i was racing another integra .....first gear, second, third, all of a sudden Vtec shuts off....i didn't think nothing of it until, rpm starts rising and rising... it kept going all the way to 9500 rpm....instincts tell me to shut off my engine...i try starting my car while the car is cruising, but once again rpm starts going up...i knoew something was wrong.. i pulled over to side and call my uncle...he comes out checks out the car and its turns out...there is a orange rubber piece that is part of the bypass valve....it sucked all the way up to my intake manifold and jams the accelerator **** thingy ( that thing that is connected to your gas pedal in your engine bay) =P just wanted to let you guys know and to be careful.... sorry didn't mean to write a book about this..but just thought it could be a fair warning to everyone with a bypass valve...

 

...and thats the reason they had a recall on the bypass valve

 

Those aem bypass valves were recalled. I guess u missed it.

 

OH REALLY@!@~! damn that sucks..so what do i do now guys?

 

tell them it got clogged in the intake manifold ...... melted inside ....... and fucked cyl. # 2

 

What's with all the [b]"....."[/] crap? Let me guess! This post is for preschoolers who haven't had any grammar classes?!

 

What's with the "?!" then?

 

?! was used to show a state of confusion and I also did NOT put it after every sentence or half sentence! Don't get your pampers in a wad because I'm just having fun on this beautiful sunday morning . Later fools, I'm going to the beach now!

 

so should i contact AEM? what would or could they do?

 

Contact AEM and/or the place where you purchased the intake. Good luck!

 

Sup Don , this is Duy...damn that sucks....im planning to just cut my AEM in half. When it rains, i was just gonna remove the extention and slap on a crappy intake till it stops raining.......

 

I dont know about you guys but the rain hasn't caused a single problem for my aem cai, and I've even lowered the bitch 3" all around. By pass is a waste of money, unless you like driving through puddles!

In my 91 hb i gotta b16 with a integra ls tube runnin to a 93 civic si filter box , k/n drop in filter and it works great .sux cold air right outta the factory box in the fender, i cut slits in the one under the bumper to force air up into the box.
