I removed the silencer and the factory air box and swapped in a K&N. Now, when cruising at low rpms at a constant speed, just above idle, there is a constant tone coming from the engine bay. Hard to describe, not real high-pitched but kind of like blowing over a bottle.
I vaguely remember reading something about this in another thread. Someone suggested that the IAC makes noise when it gets old, but my 03 only has ~24K on it (over half the miles since I got the car 10 months ago). Is it remotely possible that the problem would go away if I removed and sprayed down the IAC with some parts cleaner?
It doesn't bother me much, but it seemed to start when I put in the open K&N. Is this what the silencer was supposed to silence? It wouldn't surprise me if I owned myself here lol. Anyone else experience this?
