as the title says.. there's this part.. it has a tube going into it and out of it.. with a sensor of some sort in it i guess since there's a wire plugged into it... and the "unit" is clicking.. constantly.. is this normal?

I've been trying to trouble shoot a throttle issue.. and the car lacks power.. big time.. when you floor it... the exhaust sounds whiny/tinny like an old pos honda with an exhaust leak or something.. not sure how to explain it.. but it's not how it sounded before. any ideas?

I'm going to seafoam everything tomorrow but... ideas would be nice.

 

picture? im not sure where you mean....theres lots of tubes/hoses and wires going to and from the intake

 

no camera atm sorry, but it's the only thing that's mounted on top of the airfilter box... it's got this little rubber thing that slides on a plastic piece on the top of the filter to hold it in place... it's the only object on the top of the box so.. can't be many options. it doesnt appear to actually be a part of the air filter.. it's just secured to it.. the part has a tube that runs down behind the engine somewhere.

 

I think hes talking about the PCV system and the n75 valve right under the PCV valve but I dont see why it would tick..

 

i forgot what the stock airbox looks like, but you could be talking about the MAF or the ICM. get a pic from google and point to where your talking about

 

 

that part is definitely clicking.. you can hear it and feel it if you hold it.. and if you disconnect that wire it stops.

 

I'm pretty sure that's normal.

 

I forget the name of that part, but the clicking is completely normal.
