I replaced the air intake hose in my 2012 Honda Civic, as the current hose had splits in it, allowing air in and causing hestitation while accelerating. The new hose fixed the hesitation, but now I have a whistling/squeaking sound developing immediately after the fix. It seems to be related to the crankcase pressure I suppose, as if I pull out the dipstick, the release in pressure eliminates the noise, until it builds back up again when the dipstick is replaced. Would you think this is related to the intake hose?

Double check your work, and check the pcv valve. It usually vents into the intake

Thanks for the feedback! Checked the PCV valve, which was ok. Took the new intake hose back off and determined that the part was faulty. The connection hole for the crankshaft ventilation insert was not open… totally blocked off! I’m dumbfounded as to how they could sell this. Lesson learned about ordering cheap parts I guess.

Can you just drill the hole out? I had to do the same thing on a replacement intake tube on my CRV.

Yep just drill it out

Thanks for the replies. I considered drilling it out, but just as quick to pick one up at the local Auto Zone, for the same price and with much better clamps and hardware. I'm returning the faulty part and leaving a review warning others that the part does not come ready to install.

Thanks again

They probably normally have that hole punched out, just that one got missed.

probably true, though there are 5 other reviews saying the same thing, all this year, so mine wasn't the first occurrence.
Should have read the reviews. My bad.

Where did you order the replacement?
