ok you know that noise that you hear while idling with a cold air intake installed??? its like a vacuum sucking noise??? and then when you shut the car off it makes an air release sound??

well my car was doing this, but the other night i was driving on freeway and when i got off the freeway my car just died... so i started it back up, it seemed fine and it hasn't died since, but now there is no intake noise at all. a

what all of this rambling is about is i want to know if you guys think something is wrong with the car or if im just trippin

    Did you check to see if your air filter is still installed on the end of the intake pipe? Could you have possibly ran through a puddle of water when your car shut off? This happened to a friend of mine with a cold air intake when he drove through a puddle and the engine sucked some water. Luckily it wasn't enough to hydro lock the engine but it did cause it to shut off.

    honestly everyone i have asked, asked the same question back about the filter being there lol, but yes the filter is still there... as for the water there is no way i sucked up any water... thanks for the heads up though...

    On my EG6 there was a kind of "trumpet" sound every time I shut off the car. I asked a thousand times, I dismounted all the intake manifold, changed all the gaskets and O rings... But the noise still there.
    I heard the problem is common, but I never found how to fix it.
