Check Engine Light....

**Squishy** · 07-13-2010, 10:15 PM

Want me to attempt to go take some pictures? I gotta find that trouble light in my garage first

**Celica13** · 07-13-2010, 10:15 PM

Yeah.. I never got to hook that Ecu hose back up. I would if I had it, but I dont. So .. not much I can do I lost it.. I dont even know how.

**J.Martins** · 07-13-2010, 10:21 PM

Yes take some pics so we can see

**Squishy** · 07-13-2010, 10:25 PM

correction. there is NO hose LOL, its in my trunk, posting in 2 mins

**J.Martins** · 07-13-2010, 10:28 PM

OK squish just say when they are up

**Squishy** · 07-13-2010, 10:29 PM

candy..

the screw is what we used to cap the hose.. :P

**Squishy** · 07-13-2010, 10:31 PM

I don't really know what the last picture is LOL it's the filter behind my wheel well, fail picture. is that good for you guys or is there's something more specific?

**J.Martins** · 07-13-2010, 10:39 PM

Its the blue hose that is causing the problem

**Squishy** · 07-13-2010, 10:39 PM

explanation?...

**J.Martins** · 07-13-2010, 10:40 PM

That's good but its 2 areas where I think the issue could be

**J.Martins** · 07-13-2010, 10:42 PM

The hose looks to loose so it needs to be tightened up more or replaced cause I didn't use my red hose cause the ID was to much for the fitments. Also where the CAI attaches to the throttle body needs a clamp cause that is where a lot of air will be going in. So the red cupling needs a clamp also, start with those 2 and we will go from there.

**Squishy** · 07-13-2010, 10:46 PM

noob

**Squishy** · 07-13-2010, 10:47 PM

and the blue hose, the clamps were tight, they barely fit on the blue hose as it was

**J.Martins** · 07-13-2010, 10:50 PM

sorry squish I'm having a rough day and I wasn't taking a 100% look at it. Did you restart the ECU?

**Squishy** · 07-13-2010, 10:51 PM

ya makes two of us. lol left work early for that reason, yaaa...

Well I think they unhooked the battery for a second because my stereo restarted and everything

**J.Martins** · 07-13-2010, 10:55 PM

Ya I would unhook it for at least 5 min or so and when it comes back on it should reset and the CEL should be off also. Then go from there. Sorry I can't be more help I;m trying but to much on my mind right now. I'll keep trying to think of what it could be. Also did you check the o-ring on the MAF sensor?

**J.Martins** · 07-13-2010, 10:58 PM

I would also put the ECU hoses back on too. They need to be there in order to cool the ECU

**Squishy** · 07-13-2010, 11:04 PM

I'll show this to my friend, thanks for the suggestions

**J.Martins** · 07-13-2010, 11:06 PM

Of course squish no problem.

**Carroll_Cahoon** · 07-14-2010, 12:09 AM

i would use a product like

Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner by CRC - Part 05110 - Advance Auto Parts

to clean the MAF and the throttle body area, my be that you got some dirt in the MAF when you switched the parts over and if it were to think that it had either too little air it would retard the amount of full sprayed causing it to run lean... what i would do is disconnect the battery, then any sensors needed to put the CAI out and clean their connectors, then the CAI and MAF, clean it, reinstall everything then after like 20 minutes reconnect the battery cable
