So after I installed my cold air intake my mpg dropped tremendously. Now people have told me that its not because of the cold air intake. I was told that I needed to do the 100k mile service and that would help mpg..

anyone else encounter something like this..

 

Maybe you like the sound and keep your foot to the floor whenever you can.

 

Mine got better when I installed my injen even tho I was driving harder cuz it sounded so good.

 

Could just be coincidence. Check tire pressure. Could be new driving habits as stated above. What exactly is bad mpg??

 

-what CAI did you install
-have you checked vacuum hoses you might have disconnected, that they are still connected?
-pic of the install?

 

I do love the sound but I try not to mash the gas.. lol
I installed a cosmo racing intake..
and all the lines look good..
Ill have pictures soon..

 

how is your performance? could be maf

 

uhh performance is good.. I havent seen a drop in performance.. plus I cleaned my MAF not that long ago..

 

i would disconnect the battery for a while and let the ecu reset.

I'm assuming you have no codes, right?

I disconnected the battery while installing the CAI.. and there are no codes..

 

Why would u get cosmo racing?

 

i installed a CAI and got crappy peformance too, mostly because az air is hot.

 

I see nothing wrong with cosmo racing.. I dont wanna spend 300 on an injen one.. sorry bro..

 

give it a tank to reset. I usually get 26mpg (mixed driving) but accidentially pulled the ecu fuse while trying to find a blown one and got 17mpg for the next tank. I bet it is in safe mode while it is re-learning everything

 

yeah i just filled up the tank, i let it run really low this time to fill her up as much as a can..

14.9 gallons and well see how many miles i get out of this tank..
