weird sound from intake. please help!

mustang_jim85 · September 5th, 2008, 12:43 PM

Hey ya'll this is my first post on here hopefully I can get some help. Within the last few days I've noticed that when I'm idling I hear this sound coming from my cai, its like a popping kinda sound thats the best I can really describe it my car runs great other than that. I have a 2000 with k&n cai, udp's and an sct livewire. Also, while I'm at it. I've been havin some problems with my ac compressor, its started making this kinda hissing sound when I accel it goes away. Is my compressor going out? Any help is greatly appreciated.

It sounds like when you rev your engine up real loud then let off the gas and your exhaust makes that kinda farting sound. Is this something to worry about? Please help

HMUSN · September 5th, 2008, 05:34 PM

you have a vacuum leak.

mustang_jim85 · September 5th, 2008, 08:43 PM

So that's what causing my intake to make that noise? What should I do to fix that?

HMUSN · September 5th, 2008, 08:52 PM

you need to find the leak is all.

look for any tubes that are disconnected or grab a can of brake fluid and start spraying the lines while looking for air bubbles.

mustang_jim85 · September 5th, 2008, 09:00 PM

Sweet will do. What do you think about my ac. It makes this hissing, kinda raspy metallic sound. I'm planning on jut replacing it.

HMUSN · September 5th, 2008, 09:04 PM

I'd just get rid of it personally but that's just me

mustang_jim85 · September 5th, 2008, 09:12 PM

Haha yea. I would. But I live in the south. I'd die without ac and I'd rather live than gain a couple hp lol

HMUSN · September 5th, 2008, 09:13 PM

please. open a window. your body needs too be at 106f for anything to happen to you. lol

mustang_jim85 · September 5th, 2008, 09:16 PM

Have you ever experienced our humidity? Once you have then you can talk to me about takin out my ac lol

mustang_jim85 · September 5th, 2008, 09:23 PM

Try this. Wait til its about 85 outside then get a blanket, soak it in water the same temp, wrap yourself up in it and go outside. That's pretty much how it is haha

HMUSN · September 5th, 2008, 09:24 PM

have you ever been to Iraq? how about Japan in August?

I have.

mustang_jim85 · September 5th, 2008, 09:40 PM

Can't say I have. I guess I'm just not used to the humidity. I moved here from california. I was used to the dry heat which isn't bad at all

HMUSN · September 5th, 2008, 09:42 PM

I spent 6 years in San Diego.
It was fun times.

you'll be alright. it's not that bad in FL. I have been there as well. lol

mustang_jim85 · September 5th, 2008, 09:48 PM

Yea. When I was still livin near L.A. The weather was sweet. 98 and not even braking a sweat. Buit down here in MS the humidity sucks. Fl isn't quite as bad. Anyways thanks for the help, it is much appreciated and I think I'll just keep my ac. For my gf's sake lol

HMUSN · September 5th, 2008, 09:51 PM

that's your choice. good luck with everything.

mustang_jim85 · September 5th, 2008, 10:00 PM

Will do. Thanks for the help bro.

04mustang232 · September 5th, 2008, 10:20 PM

are they any a/c service stations in gulfport? The way you describe the heat, there has gotta be haha. Anyways, i would take it to them cause chances are they will kno right off the bat. its kinda hard to diagnos a problem over the boards. Anyways welcome to the site

mustang_jim85 · September 5th, 2008, 10:31 PM

Yea there are. its just hard for me to get in cuz they're closed by the time I get off work and they usually aren't open weekends. Hopefully I'll have a day of next week and can get it looked at

minigunner7point62 · September 7th, 2008, 09:52 AM

I lived in Gautier for almost 10 years and there are plenty of places up and down the coast ( from Pascagoula to Bay St. Louis). You can look in the Coast Penny Saver and find some pretty good mechanics in it.
