help my wife hates me
 

hey all
installed a cold air induction on my (hers) 2003 gt. now she tells me of surges at the stop light. when i drive it it reminds me of old school hot rod. all i ask is does anybody else have this problem?
thanks

you have the vacuum hose loose or something else isnt torqued down tight.

yup. air leak.

also check the clocking of the MAF. They can be sensitive to sensor orientation

and make sure there's no bends in the air stream right before the MAF body (fenderwell CAI's all have these).

EDIT: and moved to general tech where it belongs.

maybe spray off the MAF sensor with some brake fluid, let it completely dry and then put it back on. Might help.

any success?

What type did you buy?

I say, return to stock if you you can't fix.....no sense in having a mod piss-off a wife.

w00t to that Dr. Preach it.

BRAKE FLUID?!...maybe you mean brake cleaner, but i would use electrical part cleaner instead. I know what you meant, but if some donkey took it literally and did use brake fluid...o my....

oops ^^^^^

I can just see some one doing that....:eek:

oh hell i hope he didnt do it...yeah i meant brake cleaner. lol...guess i had alot on my mind when i made the comment.

Might check your blinker fuid why your at it :D

damn i guessed i ruined my name making the "brake fluid" comment...lol...ANYWAY Did you get the problem fixed?

probably a very small leak in a vaccum hose

Most CAIs require reprogramming the ecu..HYPERTECH has this feature available.

Not for that generation. They is such little gain in airflow that it's within normal operating parameters. Now for 05+, that's different.

On a side note, holy Thread-Resurrection!

Forum is so dead that the only thing moving are Zombie threads.

I haven't been on in probably a year. wow, it was packed last time I was on. what is up, something had to of happened. ?
