CAI Problem, CAI Options

[fenderdave]

Hey,
Last night I finally did my first MOD on my 7AFE, (CAI) fitted the pipe, has a whole for the temp sensor, and one for a breather tube, but I closed this off as i had no where to put a breather tube.
My issue is that when i first start the car it makes a lot of noise like you can hear it sucking up the air and the rev's are about 600 higher than normal, then once the engine heats up it stops making the noise at the rev's drop back down.

I'm guessing this isn't normal? anyone got any ideas why its doing it?

thanks in advance.

there should have been a Vac line that attached to the stock intake rubber on the hose. That should connect to the spot that you plugged up.

There were no lines coming off the Stock intake, I was under the impression not all Celica's had them. Mine just had the sensor going into the actual airbox and a resornator box on the back of the hose right by the engine intake.

would the Vac leak be closing itself up once the engine heats up and things start to expand? maybe i just need to try and tighten all the seals (just trying to figure out why the rev's return to normal once it gets to temperature)

I dont thing I have the vac line on mine? or at least I havent seen it? Just the sensor (whatever it is). And with a CAI its supposed to be louder. thats like its main job lol. No real power gains on our 7A's. But it makes it sound 150% better
