Air Flow switch problem

I pulled my car in the garage after a race around the streets and heard a strange ticking noise , at first i thought it was a engine noise , but on closer inspection at the dealership today it was the air flow switch on the left of the airbox , it will be replaced under warrenty , so the part should be in by tommorow.

anybody else have a strange ticking noise like that before.

u can test by actually holding your hand on the little box , it has 2 vacume pipes connected to it and and a electric plug on the top, you can actually feel it vibrate everytime you here the clicking sound.

so if anybody has a wierd noise like that , check that out first.

haha

i got a TRD filter in and a cat back exhaust , ... that little vacume switch i suppose if noisey and not working , it think it can cause loss of a little power due to malfunction.
