but my cel light is on..i installed a cold air intake and was advised that maybe tuning the maf sensor would make the cel go out...is this true?

what exactly would it be doing?

 

The tuning would be recalibrating the MAF sensor for the added air.

 

retune..........unneccessary

i bet you didnt disconnect the batter before installing

if thats the case disconnet the battery and let it sit for 20 min..........then c what u got

 

^ yes, try that.

If the light still comes on, check for leaks and also make sure your sensor was put back in correctly. Make sure everything is tightly fitted. Then repeat with the disconnect of the battery for 20-30mins. Good luck.

 

K&N drop in filter. should the battery be unhooked for that also... i dont think so. just a question my ummm friend was wondering. this guy i know has same balt as me and umm he did that and uhh was wondering lol

 

how about you find out what the code is. could be totally unrelated.

 

with check engine light you only have to unplug your battery for 5 minutes. It will erase with in that time. or just go somewhere and have someone read it.

 

i already know the code is p0171 in not a newb already checked for leaks. and yes i did disconnect the battery im a firm believer in that one ill recheck my maf sensor but i know its tight maybe i made a noob mistake and put it in backwards...

 

did you reconnect the hose running to your valve cover?
