What is this part, is it suppose to hiss???

 

Jay,

You're cars all F*d up. Or else you got some really weird lighting in your garage, or my computer monitor is all whacked, but that sure doesn't look like Sebring Silver to me. By some miracle did you get the shop to paint the whole car for you because of that front end damage?

And you know what else - your battery is on the wrong side, and so is everything else. Your engine is facing the right direction, but that's about it.

Let us in, who's car is that?

An S2K engine bay looks like this (Note the properly painted vehicle).

LOL...actually I think the pic is of a European S2000 engine bay...just took it since my cam is on the frits....but that "hissing" sound is in the same location. Does yours make any noise Gary?

 

Yep... It goes VROOM VROOM, and at 6K, it goes VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

That's all I notice.

I've never specifically listened for it. Could it be a sensor, or perhaps even part of your CAI?

 

Sounds like a blow-off valve releasing excess boost pressure. Maybe you got one of the rare factory turbo models...

It's the AIR CONTROL VALVE VACUUM CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE.
I've never heard mine hiss but then, I don't spend a lot of time with my head down near so many moving engine parts.

 

Talk about moving parts in the engine...almost got my hand ripped off by the belts, when I decided to look behind my airbox with the engine on. Ill just have to wait till Monday with Honda to figure out the deal.

Rare factory turbo? LOL more like rare factory engine pissing sound. Feels like the car isnt kicking into Vtec....then again I did reset the ECU so now the computer is all confused.

Ahhh car woes....I think may trade in the S for a Razor Scooter less moving parts to break!
