m3 intake problems
alright guys, i installed kargoboy's simota intake a while back, it threw too many cel's so i took it back off. I just tried it again this past week and the cel's came on everyonce in a while but not as much. I have heard that these intakes hardly throw any Cel's, whats the deal?
I know it is installed right, anything else i can do? i didn't think i would have to manage my fuel system just for an intake. |
Hey, the only code i threw when i put on the intake was right afterwards I get "Coolant temp below regulating thermostant" or "Coolant temp unstable operation"
|
i got fuel/air ratio to lean or rich...but i have gotten my fuel pump replaced since then
|
How's the fit of the MAF against the intake tube? Is it tightened down on all four corners completely?
It's true, I've never get any complaints about the A/F CEL with this intake. |
I have had mine installed for a year or so and have not had 1 CEL. I'm thinking it could be your censor and not the intake.
|
i noticed when installing it, that the maf had a rough time fitting perfectly in the intake, but i am pretty sure i got it in there good. Maybe i will give it another good try...
on a second note, what is the best way to clean the maf if it looks sort of dirty? |
A spray "MAF cleaner" is sold at auto parts stores, usually near the other cleaners like brake cleaner, battery terminal cleaner, eletronics cleaner,etc. Just give it a bunch of sprays of that and it should be golden.

Thanks for help everyone, ill most likely try the instal again on thursday
