I bought a CAI for my 99 Civic EX and turns out the intake doesnt have the right fittings.It has two holes for two fittings but my Civic has three. What gives? One appears to be a sensor and the other two are vacuum lines... According to Bomz Racing this IS the correct intake....

Any help is greatly appreciated! =)

 

OOPS Turns out they sent me a CAI for a 98 and I have a 99 which DOES have three ports on the intake as opposed to the two on a 96-98 EX.

Can i still use it or do I definitely need the three ports?

 

that third one is for when the engine is cold, it draws in air directly to the injection port, but when the engine is at normal operating temps, that third port closes, you can always tee it with the breather hose but if they can replace your intake for a 99, do it instead

 

Ran into a problem today during a downpour. Went to turn on my wipers to intermitent and they didn't work. So I pulled down on the wiper stalk to get a quick swipe on my windshield. Usually when you let go they go back to the down position. But mine didn't. When I let go of the wiper stalk the wipers stayed where they were. Tried to get them to sit flush and was fighting with them.

So my intermitent doesn't work but normal wiper (the next selection) works fine. Is the problem in the stalk or in the wiper motor?

 

your switch likely has a short in it. replace it and things should be fine.



So what happens if I dont use it at all? What would be the problem at startup? If the 96-98s didnt need it then why does mine? lol
