19Cutlass94 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Well when we got the upper intake off my car, something didnt quite look good. It looked like there was a whole family of mice living there. There was some kind of shells and what me and my dad believe to be padding out of my dads car seats in there as well. it took us about 30 minutes just to clean all that shit out of there. Luckly they didnt get to any of the wires, but one of the seals for the injector wires was off, but didnt do any damage. Which is a good thing because if anything happened and I had to buy more shit Id be like rambo trying to find those damn things. But your probably wondering how that got there? Well there was a time when the car was stored over the winter and only driven in the summer, and we have a feeling that during one of those winter months, the mice found that and made a home. Other than that we found it kinda humorous... I just thought I might lighten up someones day by sharing that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 lol, I have/had a small nest in the trunk. I think of a single dad mouse on welfare, cuz I didnt notice any damage otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Ride Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 When I got my TGP there was mice living in the exhaust pipes, needless to say the first time I started it up they died. I hate mice with a passion, I've had to strip my entire interior, and am in the process of replacing it because is stunk so bad.

mihela816 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 I found a mouse nest under my intake plenum last time I took it off, made out of part of my hoodliner. They chewed it up near the alternator, and the alt sucked up little pieces of hoodliner. They plugged of the rear vents by the rectifier and fried the alt.

pontiacbabe Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 man that really sucks. i was changing the exhaust on my car once and there was a mouse in the garage so i had to pray to god it did not get into my car... plus i hate mice so i was freaking out the whole time i was working on it.

19Cutlass94 Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 ^^^ haha I can just picture that! musta been fun though, pontiacbabe. Ive got a pile of the stuff they chewed up on the garage floor, that came from under the plenum. There was actually more there than there was in my dads motor in which the car had been sitting for a good 10 yrs. I dont quite understand that one. CBAD, they didnt actually go through the TB, because they would have had to go through the air filter, which is K&N with the metal screen.... if they did that Im sure I car would run like absolute shit if I had a mouse actually in the intake lol. But they made their home under the upper plenum. Hopefully with the new gaskets and all that shit gone, maybe my car will run a little better...

patgizz Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 pulled the headliner aside in the 54 to run my wires today and a mouse nest fell on me. and when i bought my cutlass donor car there was the same thing you describe under my 3.4's plastic front injector cover.

Addicted To Boost Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I've got a mouse story that will make you guys laugh your asses off. My aunt's car wasn't running very well, so she took it into the shop. By the way she loves M&M's and her glove box was full of M&M's. When she was at the shop, the mechanic came to her and said "you'd better have a look at this." So she went back there and her whole airbox and airfilter were packed with M&M's. I thought it was pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomZoomFan Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I've never experienced mice in a car, but my Beretta used to have a problem with spiders. I killed one that was suddenly crawling on the steering wheel when I first got the car, then when I was showing the car to my g/f and her mom, another one reared it's ugly head and crawled around on the door panel. I killed it too. They both looked the same, kinda small with yellow dots or something. I killed another one later on too. I haven't noticed any other creatures making a home with my car since it came to my house, thankfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GutlessSupreme Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 every 3.1 manifold that I've pulled for the first time has had a bunch of acorn shells and other garbage like that accumulated around the injectors/fuel rail on top of the LIM. never really accord to me that they were nests lol but I guess how else would that shit get there.
