hi all i was looking in the engine bay for a tapping sound that i could here from in the car, and as i reved the engine from thethrottle body i noticed that 1 of the pipes that come of the main intake pipe that goes to the throttle body it clicks in and out from the throttle body end, heres a link of a pic its the pipe that goes off to the right of the main intake pipe, where theres 2 pipes one ontop of the other, its the top pipe that is clicking in and out, do i need a new throttle body or will a new pipe be the fix, thanks
