Check engine

**Xpyoda** · 04-18-2005, 09:08 PM

yet again my check engine light is on in my 02 gts wtf is the problem...?
is it the unplugged sensor because of the intake???

**Burrcold** · 04-18-2005, 09:36 PM

what sensor??? I really hope you don't mean your MAF sensor

CONTROL ONE · 04-18-2005, 10:08 PM

i don't think the car will run without the MAF plugged in

i think he means the 1 EXTRA hose you have on some cai's and sri's. you need to put a breather on that and yes, it COULD be causing your CEL

**Sergio** · 04-19-2005, 03:18 PM

why do people never hook up their extra hose.

**Xpyoda** · 04-19-2005, 05:38 PM

where can i get the breather?
and how much do they cost? o_O

**MartinGouda** · 04-19-2005, 06:40 PM

i have one in my garage... $5

Can't you bypass this, we don't use the breather over here.

Copy and pate link into IE window it it does'nt load.
--------------------------------

If your intake has a breather hole block it off, the upper air sensor i bolted to the heat shield. The lower sensor blue plug secure somewhere as it is disconnected. Now to the left of the heat shield see the blue and black shape thats the one way vacume valve. get red of the T-piece and pipes to the right, so the valve is just connected to the pipe from the left............. then use a short length of piping from the black end of the valve into the small silver tube on the throttle bodie. Thats all.

yes, harmful fumes/debris can enter your engine internally

go to canadian tire, the breathers are 16.95+tx

**Seven Of Nine** · 04-20-2005, 06:45 PM

Can someone post up pictures of the breather pipework and where the other tubes go, just courious.

**DaksGT** · 04-20-2005, 08:57 PM

Is everyone sure its the breather? He doesnt seem to know what he's talking about and something else could be fatally wrong with the engine, reset the ecu and see if it pops back up.

Yeah i know. Since when do breathers offer solutions to CELs? If a hose is unplugged and just hanging there, a breather isn't gonna change the situation.

You and me installed your intake like 4 years ago in my old tight garage with nothing but a single light bulb to guide us, some misc wrenches, a hacksaw, and it was the dead of winter. And it was EXCELLENT.

Xpyoda: Have the code read by an ODB-II scanner and find out what code the ECU is throwing, or else you're just taking stabs in the dark. Do the right thing.
