Hey guys I installed INJEN's cai a few weeks ago and obviously my car felt a little differnet as the ecu played around with the new intake. Basically im wondering if this is out of the ordinary. When I first start my car and try to accelerate like within 5 seconds of starting the car it doesnt get enough fuel and bogs like its going to die but doesn tcompletely die. Then after a little its fine. Is this normal just because the air//fuels a little bit off? Does it effect my car at high RPMs and higher gears while racing etc am i not gonna get enough fuel. Thanks in advance

 

when you turn it on it is kinda like the car farts and dies...then you have to try to turn it on again....is that what you mean?

 

like my cars parked

i turn the ignition

then pop it into reverse and hit the gas a litlte

rpms drop and i feel liek its about to die then give it a little more gas and its all good...

 

Do you have exhaust?

 

yes Injen's axle-back

 

hmm interesting... i would think our ecu could compensate for this... ::watching::

 

here's a question...did you reset the ecu?

 

Resetting the ECU isn't necessary... In fact, it seems to make me slower.

If it's idling, then its fine. Idling is actually a very hard thing for a motor to accomplish, as it takes a good bit of tuning. You might just have to give it extra gas when reversing, could be low-end tq loss or could be placebo

 

i reset my ECU after adding exhaust to my intake, and i gained several hp(feeling, not dyno), so that is a possibility

 

These cars have what we call Idle learn.

You need to reset the ECU anytime you change something and let it run for 15 min. at Idle without touching the car.
