So today I went on a canyon run and towards the end heard a tweeting sound, but not so high pitched....

When I was at the gas station I looked under the hood only to find the tube detached from the throttle body as well as the bracket on the battery tray, the vacuum hose undone, and the air sensor hanging down over the transmission. This has happened twice already...

I know for a fact no one tampered with any of this.
I'm also certain everything was tightened and double checked. All the couplers were still holding tight so nothing fell off onto the road.

My questions are, what force could've been so hard as ti make everything fall apart?
Hard acceleration/engine moving/body flexing on hard curves?

Any harm to the motor from sucking in unfiltered mountain air lol?

Thanks for your replies in advanced!

 

probably engine movement, are u running a stock TB? if so your not sucking in enough air pressure to blow everything out when the plate closes not even with a 60mm TB, Hook everything back up rev the motor by using the TB an watch everything, chances are your MM are shot and the motors rocking back and forth and having the bracket to the battery tray isn't allowing the intake to move with the motor(also when you rev it the TB will kinda retract toward the passenger side) best bet would probably not have the bracket to the battery tray....

 

it would be engine movement causing it... that is the only thing it could be.... unless u are boosted.... then well that is a hole different story

 

I too think it's engine movement, it makes sense now, thanks!

Revved the car using the TB wire, engine moves slightly, nothing out of the ordinary. Mounts are only a year old. I can see how under load it'd move more though. I'll loosen the bracket nut and see how that works out.

Thanks guys.
I can always count on DF members for advise.
