hes right yoda, dont laugh. i used a 3" housing to try and see if a 3" intake would work...it doesnt

BlackMan_Ink · 02-18-2009, 11:13 PM

I got an AFE intake and I am having the same problems I went over the hoses with a fine tooth comb, and the only thing I can think of is that the plastic elbow is leaking air, I'm pretty sure I put the MAF sensor on tight, even tho I had to get some extra washers to get it to stop wobbling on the housing. I'm going to add sealant to the hose and elbow, hopefully that solves the problem. Any suggestions on where I should be looking?

What CAI intake brand did you use. I never heard of any intake besides one on ebay that would require you to use sealant on it.

BlackMan_Ink · 02-18-2009, 11:30 PM

i got an AFE intake, I got it from a reputable parts store in Burbank, it came with all the parts and had all the emblems molded on the parts, it's legit... but for some reason it just didn't fit perfect.

BlackMan_Ink · 02-18-2009, 11:30 PM

bad maf would stall the car and not even run

check the tightness of the filter and tube

LBjoe · 02-18-2009, 11:41 PM

If there is a leak before to the MAF it can read that amount of air and correct the fuel still could cause a rich condition but i dont believe that would throw a code.. NOW if it's after the MAF you have un metered air reaching the engine causing a lean condition and that will pop a CEL quickly... Thus i'd be contacting AFE asking as to why the MAF housing is not providing a correct fit as well as making sure you have not damaged the fillament on the MAF by rigging it in the intake with washers they are kinda touchy oil from our hands can cause them to trip a light... just my two cents.

thanx, I'm going to give it another once over and hopefully it won't go off on the ride home.

BlackMan_Ink · 02-20-2009, 09:31 PM

I am still getting a CEL, but thanx to Garm I now know what the problem is(the bolts that came with the sensor are too long and the MAF is not sitting on the intake properly causing a leak) and will have it fixed A.S.A.P. Thank you again to all, for the help.

yup its the diameter..i ran into this problem.. 3 inch wont work at all..i believe its 2 1/4 inch is the stock... but i ran into someone that had bigger diameter..dont know how he did it..he said it was the distance between the maf and the filter.

Great to meet you today. __________________ Micro Image forums, online store and shop are now closed. It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
