Check Engine Light....

**Squishy** · 07-14-2010, 12:14 AM

I think I can do that once I get the blue coupler, since everything will have to come off again. Thanks

**Celica13** · 07-14-2010, 01:47 AM

yeah I left but the first thing I saw was that Blue connector. I didnt use it PERIOD.. its been hanging up serving no purpose. I say disconnect the blue hook up the black connector in its place, Disconnect the battery to reset the ECU(possibly replace the ECU hoses, the 04 computer may be a bit more sensitive than the 01) and I really think that will clear up your CEL. That blue connector was just like a BIG light bulb. Lots of people have mentioned they hooked that up and had the CEL. But if you use the black one I think you'll be in the clear.

**J.Martins** · 07-14-2010, 09:16 AM

See I didn't use my red one for that exact reason. I stuck with the black hose cause I knew it had proper flow.

**Celicarunner** · 07-14-2010, 10:31 AM

wait this got serious again after page 4? I was having so much fun reading this back n forth between squish and J n 13. By the way going off topic again but I'm sure the way they pronounce "celica" in this commercial would be the proper way hahahah

Not helping

**Squishy** · 07-14-2010, 02:35 PM

Hahah, way to be.. That's actually the way we don't pronounce it, although some people up here say it like that. Anyways! What black hose are you guys talking about?

**Squishy** · 07-14-2010, 02:39 PM

YouTube - Celica rally history
the way he says it at 0:49 is the way we say it

**J.Martins** · 07-14-2010, 09:26 PM

We are talking about the blue hose you have on to be changed back to the black one.

**Celica13** · 07-14-2010, 09:34 PM

NO NO STOP

The Hose Is not what I was talking about. If you look at the AEM CAI technical Difficulties page in the 7th Gen repair section. Someone mentions Not to use the Blue Connector..
Not a HOSE.

That blue connector needs to be SWAPPED for the Black connector. You DO NOT RE- USE the BLUE little CLIP ON CONNECTOR.

Sorry I'm if I seem a little tense, But I had to wait 7 hours to come back and tell you thats your issue cause the computers at work filter Blog sites.

hey skip ahead in the video to 7:08 through 7:35. The clamps that go around that hose. are the ones I'm talking about.

CEL13 nice videos!! Videos like these are so helpful! One visual is worth a thousand words and saves so much time and frustration for others. Thanks.

**Squishy** · 07-15-2010, 03:32 AM

We switched the connectors around, unhooked the battery, etc, the CEL is gone for the moment, although as I was sitting letting it idle, the car was jittering more and the intake was making like sucking air noises within intervals of ~2-3 or so seconds.. Is it suppose to do that? I took it around the block to see if it would make a difference but it was still doing it when I got back to my garage... ?!

**dirtking** · 07-15-2010, 05:50 AM

Sounds like a vacuum leak & vacuum leaks will def give you a lean condition.

Dirt

**J.Martins** · 07-15-2010, 10:02 AM

Ya squish you have to go through the hoses and check each individual one for a leak. It can be the slightest crack but with so much constant suction it will cause the crack to open at the given moment and when you shut the car off it will disappear again.

**Celica13** · 07-15-2010, 11:52 AM

Well the Sucking of air is always gonna be there squish

And Thanks Dirt, I appreciate that alot.

But no seriously I have 2 12's in my hatch, and the other day I was blaring my radio and I thought my window was cracked cause I could hear some whistling noise, But It was my intake as I was gassing through by some traffic. And They're exceptionally more noticeable than the stock intake.
And even though your idling, I understand you Wouldn't be gassing the pedal, but at the same time your engine needs air.

But hopefully the Black connector/Reset the ECU fixed your CEL. I really believe it would.

**Squishy** · 07-15-2010, 12:48 PM

Thanks for the help guys. I'm going to run some errands so I'll be shutting my car on/off, I'll let you know when I get home! And I don't think it's any of the hoses, it's the intake itself making the noise

**Squishy** · 07-15-2010, 03:00 PM

It's gone!! yay, still doing the weird sucking air thing though. Thanks again

**J.Martins** · 07-15-2010, 04:21 PM

Ya squish that is just how the intake sounds. It isn't limited like the OEM intake box is.

**Jive13** · 07-15-2010, 06:36 PM

i love that sound

**Squishy** · 07-15-2010, 08:47 PM

In the morning I'm gonna yell at my car and tell it to shut up because it's so loud

**Celica13** · 07-15-2010, 09:25 PM

:) glad to get that CEL fixed up. Oh and I dunno if your celi has a full exhaust set up, but if it doesnt and you plan to get one, Be careful which you get, lol cause someone has mentioned on here getting an APEX and his CAI was louder than his exhaust

sorta crappy
