Hey eveybody...i own a 2003 camry le with the 2az-fe motor, at around 65000 miles, i have been getting this vibration in the car and howling sound when the RPM's climb...i was reading online that it is being caused by the plastic intake manifold, that something collapsed inside and is causing all this craziness....anybody else getting the same problem and how can it be fixed (cheap as possible)

How bad is the vibration? and the sound? an you hear it inside when driving? The 4 cylinders have some vibration felt in the steering when parked in drive esp with a/c on.

The vibration happenes when the RPM"s hit like 1800 and certain parts of the interior trim start to rattle a little...and the howling happens when accelerate up to near redline...i know some howling happens when the rpm's are that high, but mine is REALLY loud

Can you post a video or sound clip?

Tried to video it, but the quality came out like crap...imagine a cold air intake sound when you floor the gas pedal....except i dont have a cold air intake...just a drop in K&N, i bought the K&N a few years ago, the sound only started like a year ago
