    Dis Clickin has got to go!!

    hey everyone


    ook, this has been going on for the longest time..since I've installed my injen cai.. I've read a few posts about this..but haven't really gotten info off it..

    aeit, After about 5-10 mins of driving..there is this clickin noise comin from the engine bay..it's been driving me crazy because it's totally intermittent.. it clicks when I'm idling..sometimes acceling...bah!!

    I take my car to my ol auto shop teacher from hs, names bob.. to try to troubleshoot dis damn noise.. turns out it is the purge solenoid valve..

    so I take it my mechanic..kin.. and see's what he says... he tells me that this clickin noise is normal. It's the valve making tests for emissions.. its normal for this..the reason why I am hearin this is because the way the valve is mounted to the firewall.. If there was a problem with the valve they would see some 'code' for an error.

    I'm lost... If anyonee can shed some light before I suffer teh bill from mazda dealer

    are you sure it's not just the intake vibrating off something else? you have a 1.8 right? it's not vibrating off the master cylinder is it?

      Nope, It's not a vibration noise... I've already checked that... and I readjusted the Intake so it's not hitting the master cylinder

            Is the intake hot?
