Caddy Panel Van Intake Noise

Post by michaelfalconer »

Hi Gents and Ladies,

Got a bit a of a problem on my caddy. Here’s the details of it:
2006 1.6i Caddy Panel Van

I just replaced the battery as the previous owner was a cheapskate and put some small battery in there. Now that the correct one is in, when I turn on the ignition (no crank yet) there’s a buzzing or whizzing sound coming from either the intake manifold or behind the intake?

When I start the car the dash looks like a Christmas tree.

I can’t put my launch system on there as there’s no power going to the plug, still need to sort that out.

But has anyone come across this noise before, it wasn’t there before the battery was replaced?

Mike

Sounds like the throttle body needs to be calibrated. Not sure what launch system you are talking about.

Thanks.
I eventually took off the TB, and realized it was sticking. After ‘cracking’ it open I saw the middle plastic gear shed 3 teeth by the motor steel gear.

Bought a new one now from GW.
