I used to hear an audible rush of air come from the intake. Lately, when I turn my car off I've noticed that the noise is now gone. I even stood outside the car and had someone turn it off and still no rush of air after shut off. I was wondering, I have been burning a little more oil than usual lately and I was wondering if this symptom could be an indication of anything wrong with my motor?

 

clean your filter lately?

 

yup, just cleaned it like 2 weeks ago.

 

ttt

 

I was thinking the same thing! when I first clean the filter...it seems to make a louder *sshhhhhhttt* sound....but I don't hear my intake too much more over my exhaust anways.

I wouldn't say abything is necessarily wrong with your car b/c you don't hear a rush sound. have you had someone put their ear next to it while you shut the car off?? I am sure its making a little sound.

sorry I can''t really help! make sure its real clean. ??

 

try cleanning the throttle body

 

i have the same problem, i dont think the 96-00 cars to it nearly as loud as the 92-95 cars do because i have a 93 civic and a 97 and the 97 doesnt do it, well i bought a new sensor for the back of the throttle body (forget what it is called) anyway the one with the screen, after that it made the noise for like a week then stoped i checked it, cleaned it , and it did the same thing.

I think 96-00 intake manifolds have a flaw.

 

Could it be because I switched to an Iceman intake instead of my aluminum intake with foam filter?
