so i got the injen cold air intake and i put it in with no problem....maf sensor is going the correct way everything is tight...the hose is connected perfectly and tight...... i then had a missfire code pop up ...then i deleted it...cleaned the mass air flow sensor and the throttle body and intake mani...seemed the misfire went away...now the engine idles at 900rpm( ima look up the idle relearn and try that) butt...now wen i press on the gas i get this loud sqeal from the intake ( sounds lik a belt sqealing on a crappy car) its pretty anoying...any ideas???

are you sure its from the intake? did you try popping the hood and revving your car to see exactly where it is coming from? Maybe there is a tiny hole or fracture in the plastic fittings that connect the piping....

I have an Injen CAI and nothing like what youve described has ever happened with mine.

It sounds like there is air leakage or something stuck in the piping itself.

Otherwise I'd say its not your CAI... must be something else.

idk wut it is...i put the intake in...and it started misfireing...cleaned the throttle body and the maf sensor and now it idles at 900rpm...my car is a 6spd so when u let outta first when u press on the gass it sqeaks...on hard acceleration...it sqeaks all the way till about 4k maybe then goes away...i hate this intake so far...looks good tho lol ... i just need help...i installed alot of intake with no problems

squeek?,... or hiss?,.. big difference lol.. i think alot of people experience a slight hiss under easy to moderate acceleration up to 4k or w/e ..

maxima dude

haha now that u say hiss...its a a loudest hiss from any intake every made under my hood...you can hear it witht the windows up lol...ima try to change the maf sensor adapter the injen one comes with the spiral type design...ima buy a regualr flat one and see if it goes away...and any1 think a short ram feels alot better than a cai? i made my injen into a short ram and man it feel so much better...pickup and acceleration wise...

How did you clean the throttle body? IIRC the 02-03 throttle bodies have drive by wire so depending on how you cleaned it that could have messed up your idling.

maxima dude

^^yea i kno that...i unplugged the battery and unplugged the the throttle body to take ti off and clean it with a rag thats it...then put it all back together...its not idling rele high at lik 1200 its at a nice 900 lol but i want the stock idle cuz the code always comes up..
