Waz Crack'in people..

After installing the intake I notice sometimes when I step on the gas theres a "delay" in the engine then POW! it takes off like a bat outta hell...Then sometimes it does it normal...

I have the short ram intake setup...becuz of this is there not "enough" air getting to the air filter???

or is cuz of the "drive-by-wire" system??

Thanks!!!!!

 

we don't have a drive-by-wire system... or do we? LOL.

 

^^^ Yes, it is drive-by-wire.

 

haha. im a

 

VVT-i

 

I read on someone's CAI install thread that they let the car idle for 5-10 minutes after installing it, to let the sensor recalibrate itself.

No idea if that's necessary or if it'd help but might be worth a shot.

 

i let mine idle for 5 mins. everything seems to be fine.

 

On most cars, don't you have to disconnect the battery for 5 minutes or so to reset the ECU?

That way it can adapt to the intake?

 

the battery disconnection did nothing really, let it run a while, maybe drive it around the block, and check your owners manual because you're gonna probably have to reset the windows

 

Check your MAF sensor. Last time I cleaned my intake I put too much oil on the filter and it ended up getting all over my sensors and cause the same problem. Maybe your filter came pre-overoiled and youre having the same problem? Take a look at it and if it has oil clean it with some sensor spray.
