Anyone else here get a "Check Engine" light after a CAI Install ??
Did it come back on after resetting it ??

 

so far no. it has been about 3 days now since i reset it, and i have had no other problems since then.

No, but I did a reset after installing.

 

im sending all the n/a owners an email to get some more feedback, ill let you guys know the general consesus once we get responses

 

we also ordered up some extra custom fit water resistant drycharger covers for the filters. if anyone wants one of those they would be $20 shipped

 

It might. In the case of the Needswings CAI install the whole stock air intake comes out in essentially one piece. I kept it so & just hung it in my POS garage just in case.
I too was kinda hesitant to do any mods. while under warranty but then again, why wait? The car could get whacked tomorrow & then I'd miss out on all the fun!

 

Mine came on, once I reinstalled the old intake and reset the battery the light went off and have had no issues but again I have the old one installed now. I'm gonna try to reinstall this week again then reset and see what happens.

 

no check engine light yet and i really hope that doesn't happen cause that will screw us, but still having the rev problem and i have put quite a few miles on prolly about 80 or so and still doing it while breaking and until i am at a complete stop. had a rough idle at first sometimes still does. and has cut out a few times at high rpm's at about 5800 rpm it started sputtering and holding back. happened 2 times so far.

 

Well i installed my CAI tonight and all went well until i tried to hook up the sensor the wire harnes was strung tight so i had to cut a tiewrap and cut off some of the black tape did anyone else have to do this?
I took the car out around town and didnt notice anything weird as you guys are experiancing but i will take the car out again tomorrow and see if it is doing the idle thing.
I think i was just taken by how smooth the power band is now.

No, you will be fine.

 

i would say you have a leak at the 90 degree bend to the throttle allowing in unmetered air.

 

Ditto,
You must have a leak somewhere. Your ECU should have adapted to the CAI.......

 

i know a couple of you n/a guys threw the light on the dash, ill have at least one n/a car here tomorrow to try and duplicate the issue and come up with a fix for it

 

im no engineer,but ill bet the change in the volume or velocity of the air flow isnt letting the sensor do its job properly

 

I Installed th CAI Saturday and drove about 100 mile with slight idle and shift issues. Soon after the check engine light came on. I just reset and the light went out. I hope this will be permanent. If anything changes I will post.
I was still pleased with the intake and could feel the difference. I like the sound.

You have a 05 Crossfire correct ??
This seems to not just be specific to the 04's then.
It's seems to be a "na" Crossfire issue.

 

Valk - did you do a 'reset' on yours?

 

Mine has run perfectly although I also had a CEL (check engine light) to reset.
I also suggest if you need a reset disconnect your negative terminal for more than 20 minutes.

Rob (Needswings) says this: under 20 minutes is a soft reset, over 20 minutes is a full reset

 

What I mean is, did you disconnect the battery for a few minutes after installation of the CAI?

 

I did not do any reset after installation.
I did a full reset (Disconnect neg. for more then 20 minutes) after my CEL appeared.
This occurred several miles after the install.
