I have been thinking about purchasing cold air for my 2nd gen Xb, and I am concerned about about a situation that happened to my brother when he installed it on his 2004 mustang. When he had it installed it recalculated his computer and it took hours fr the mechanic to get the car to run, and I am wondering if any such problems are happening to anyone else or is it as easy as bolt on and go?

 

It should be all bolt and go. If you do it right anyways. It's simple to do just remember to reset your ecu by removing your ground wire from your battery for about 15 minutes then let the car idle for another 15 after it should recalibrate itself and you won't throw codes

 

Just to let you know, neither cold air nor ram intake has anything to do with forced induction. This thread belongs in the Drivetrain & Power forum immediately above.

 

When I installed my AEM C.A.I. After about 25 miles I had my check engine, traction control, and low tire pressure warning lights come on. I reset my UCU several times and get the same result. I was told to clean the MAF & I did still I get the same lights. Be careful not damage the MAF when removing it to install onto the C.A.I. I was hoping to find some possible solutions, but I'm not sure what forum to look into?
