yeserday i installed my intake on my 92 accord ex and when i was driving about 4 hous after installation the car started making this noise, that sounded like nails on a chalk board, it wasnt too loud and only occurs when the engne idles, bt gets loud at times so i ave to urn off the car, from the sonds of it, i think its oming from under the throttle body or in that area, im gonna check it out again today, if ayone can help id appreciate it guys.

okay i forgot to say i only put in my short ram intake yesterday, the next day i got the cold air becuz i didnt have time to put in the second pipe, but now i put in the second pipe and it ran fine, i found out the nails on a chalk board noise was my distributor, so i took it off and cleaned the rotor and it still makes the noise, now with the cia i started my car after letting it sit for 30 mins and it just died on me, and when i try to start it, it sounds like its coughing or choking, and it wont even start from that point. my buddy told me i gotta go to the diagnostics place and get a remap. dont know if thats true, any help would be appreciated..... thanks

You probably need a new distrubutor.

but does anybody know why my car will not work with this intake, I have never seen or heard of this happening to anyone by just puing an intake its like it unbalnces everything, all i wanna do is put this intake in and get it on the road, this is my first experience with an intake, and like they say more bang for your buck i am very satisfied in the power increase, but now that i took it out that power is gone...... so if anyone can help me out with this i would again, greatly appreciate it

Lets see, you installed a CAI intake then drove for 4hrs & then heard a noise from the distributor. You replaced the CAI with the stock air intake system & the noise is gone?

well yes that is how it was, but then the distrbutor started maing the noise again, and today it is about 2 am right now a few hours ago i noticed that when i give the car a lil extra gas it dosnt not accelerate properly but takes its time, and if i give it more gas it will start to pull and tug on the car o i gott alet go of the gas, i dont know hwat to do i think im gonna buy a new distributor, or new bearing for mine, but i am scared to drive it bcuz i forgo to mention the check engine light is on also......... :confused:
