I am sorry for asking, but i have thrown this running too lean code for some time now and cant really get a definate answer. I know ive seen countless threads about it but........

STOCK W CAI and thats it, it bucks like ass, bogs switching gears, and doesnt seem as fast to be quite honest I love this car and cant remember the last time it ran great. Any input would b great, and dont wanna hear that i have to tune it, or i will just put the stock box back on.

 

Idk what to tell ya besides what ya already know lol .. Try cleaning the maf and tb.. change plugs

 

try putting the stock intake back on

 

lmao

 

new plugs and cleaned it already

 

try changing the fuel filter you have forgotten all about lol

 

guess ill put the old box back on

isnt that a different cel?

 

p0171

 

what should I do after putting the air box back on? Do i reset it?

 

wtf, Just sux ive seen threads on here since the car came out about this code and no real answer...im trading it in for a subie soon anyway

 

the real answer is it needs tuned and trade it it in you don't deserve the car

 

X2.......seems like the type of person that's going to be trash talking cobalts in the future bc the car threw a cell due to his own incompetence. The car needs to be tuned for the intake, this information was given to you months ago

 

Like the others stated, your car cant compensate for increased air, so in return it runs like a turd and throws a code, get the damn thing tuned.....

 

yeah but where do i get it tuned? i live in stl and no one tunes around here? sorry im just frustrated and just think its pretty gay to tune the car for just a intake but thats just my opinion....

 

does the zzp intake throw the code? cause ive heard acouple times on here to get the zzp intake, heard that would fix it?

 

Ive had many cars in my lifetime and never really had a problem with anyother car, just putting on a intake?

 

^ Look at this douchebag lol, people have already told u what u need to do to fix ur car, if ur too stupid to either put the stock back on or tune ur car then please trade it in for something else, the only problem with ur car is its owner not knowing what the **** he is doing. Your real answer is stock intake or tune!

 

This 100%

 

So in the whole state of STL, not one person tunes with HPT?

 

finally a real answer !! i modified the stock air box and reset the system and runs way better than with the cai, i am a douchebag and dont really care your not gonna hurt my feelings but thanx for your guys input and help, i was just frustrated and mad sorry

 

3rd post
Looks like u had ur answer all along....

 

sorry man i was frustrated and u know how that goes, i was tired of taking it places and them having no idea and beatin around the bush with me. I just didnt want to get it tuned for such little upgrades u know? ima wait till i can get stage 2 and other goodies.

 

and it actually was running too rich not lean, I fucked that one up and got the codes mixed up
