NismoSkyZ Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Hey, I just installed a cheapy intake from AutoZone. I was wondering why my check engine light was on. I plugged in all the vac hoses and I am sure this is what caused the light to come on. Any ideas? any help would be great Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrik Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Nope.. re-check the vacuum hoses... then get the error code number and check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth1 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Does it run ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Some aftermarket filters come pre-oiled too heavily and the intake can actually suck a fine mist of oil through it, coating the MAF sensor and triggering the CEL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NismoSkyZ Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Sometimes it starts up fine, other times it bogs down at first, then takes a little while to get to idle. Once I get going though it runs fine, I just wish I could turn off that light. I'm going to get my codes read tom, I post what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth1 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 You can check the ecu codes yourself. If you're paying to have it done you might want to consider buying a reader. It might cost less than having someone else do it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
