KRM Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 when i went to start my car this morning, i turned the key to the ignition on position. and soon after there was this faint sound like a fuel pump still running. popped the hood, removed engine cover to find this sound coming from the throttle body or intake mani. 05 lgt theres been no performance issues. im running cobb stg 1 for 9,000 miles now. no dip in mpg either. any one have an idea if this is a common prob? thanks.

rao Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 It happens - a lot of STI owners report this noise. It doesn't lead to anything bad; it is just weird. Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably one of the servos opening for the climate control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRM Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 could be a servo. if its located under the defrost vents in the middle. and why would that be operating with no a/c on? anyone have some exp taking the dash out wanna give me a walk through? im pretty handy so keep it simple and i can remove it.

ehsnils Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 The servos controls the air flow to the defrost, foot and center nozzles as well as also adjusting the amount of air that is heated compared to unheated air. The recirculation is also controlled with a servo. No need to fiddle around with them unless you get weird problems with your heating - or want weird problems.
