i just got the cai on sunday and now the check engine light came on. i know i have to find what is causing this but has this happen to anyone after they installed the cai? if so what was the problem? and how did u end up fixing it. disconnecting the battery over night is no good! and all my hose are mad tight. also i have a 99 and a lot of the stuff is different like more sensors and a lot of moving around of stuff that i have no clue what they are for so help me out. thanks

 

Like i told you in the last thread you created.. you wont' know what the f' is going on till you pull the code..

it could be anything..

your car may have been running lean and the extra hp .. just tripped the ECU..??????
your MAF sensor many not be connected?????
your hose may not be on right?????
your O2 sensor may have gone bad????
you could have another problem that just came on due to timing with the CAI and they are not completely related..


PULL THE DAMN CODE MAN..

 

I don't know if this was related to the CAI but I had to have the voltage adjusted on the throttle position sensor shortly after I had mine installed. And get this....Nissan did it free of charge!

 

I told ya already... I'll pull the code for you when I drop by on Friday. Sheesh. Stop ****ing your pants about this.

And quit disconnecting your battery. All your doing is giving your finger a work-out by resetting your radio and clock.

 

I hope I don't have this problem when I get my CAI....

 

The CE light may have nothing to do with his CAI.

The CE light comes on for a whole bunch of reasons. It might have come on even if he didn't get his CAI.

 

upgrade to aftermarket y-pipe code... take it easy.

 

brett..didn't you mention that his filter would fall off every week or so? :happface:
