knocking or not knocking?

jacutis · January 13th, 2008, 12:51 PM

OK guys. Before I installed my BBK CAI for my 07 V6 stang with 22k miles, the engine sounded very throaty in 4th gear at mid - WOT. When I installed the CAI, the throaty sound not only got louder, but it continued in the same throttle range, but now 2nd - 4th. 1st & 5th gears sounds clean. I guess I may have confused this throatyness as knocking, but am not sure. Is this knocking/throaty sound normal? My 05 v6 4.0 Ranger did not sound like this and this is my first stang so I have nothing to compare to. I started noticing this a few months ago at around 15k miles. I also removed the CAI and the sound is not as loud, but still present 2nd - 4th gears. Also, this is a manual tranny. Thanks

I also checked a few of thew plugs, and they electrode and conductor look a little ashy white. I change the oil religiously at 4k miles.

when I say "throaty/knocking, it sounds like a hole in the exhaust comming from the engine.

im pretty sure you need to get a tune when you put on a CAI for the 05+

jacutis · January 14th, 2008, 01:26 PM

already swapped the intakes back out. Everything is back to stock and still same sound.

shadow5403 · January 14th, 2008, 01:31 PM

try disconnecting the negative on yor battery...maybe itll reset your MAF.

Onemanzu · January 14th, 2008, 02:34 PM

don't like it...

and reset the cars computer by disconnecting the battery this should return it back to normal

jacutis · January 14th, 2008, 07:01 PM

yeah, I already set the computer. I checked out a few other blogs and AFM.com says that this is a known issue that Ford says is normal. So I guess I have to coat my entire engine compartment with noise absorbing foam. LOL

BTW.. The new KITT is BAD ASS!!!!!!!! The show may suck, but the car is hot!

jacutis · January 14th, 2008, 07:04 PM

someone on one of the other posts said that it was driveline resonance, which I could believe since the V6s tend to shake like a SOB.

The new KITT is sick but that wing is horrendous.
