i didnt do any of that and i never threw any codes lol

 

did you drive with a heavy foot right after you installed it? and its also possible there is an air leak too. just resetting the ecu is the easy thing to do

 

The light keeps coming on...

 

hoping this manifold me and you got is good.
if you still have problems idk if im guna install mine.

 

It works great with a tune, but it looks like a tune is recommended...

 

I haven't thrown any codes but my interceptor shows I'm missing on 1,2and3 so I dunno if that has anything to do with this or not but I'm resetting the ecu now , see if that'll do any thing

 

did you just install the 2.4l intake manifold? because if you run the 2.4l throttle body, you HAVE to retune or it will run in limp mode.

i'm running mine without a tune, and i've put 15k on with the 2.4l intake, including a drive from michigan to colorado in weather from -5 to 40 with no issues.

 

Just the manifold. But I might have found the problem. My booster hose isn't clipped onto the manifold, it's just stuck on there. Why won't it clip on, and could that be my problem?

 

Mines just stock on there and then it has a spring clamp on it

 

i have a brand NEW 2.4 mani for sale includes gaskets 110$ shipped

 

it might be, because it would allow extra air to flow in, it might be easier to remove the clip and get a hose clamp (never really a fan of the quick connect style plastic clips chevy uses)

 

I ended up clamping it on and now the car is idling at 700 rpm and feels like it wants to stall. I'm getting very agitated, and my check engine light is Back on

 

All your bolts tourqed (sp?) on?

 

^this and is your evap line hooked up?

 

All lines are hooked up and all bolts are torqued to spec. I'm about to try the propane method for finding a leak

 

What code where you throwing? Too lean?

 

Yeah engine too lean

 

did you fix this yet?

 

Not yet. Tomorrow I'm giving the manifold a good run over with propane to test for a vacuum leak, and if there's not a leak I will most likely switch back to my stock manifold to see If there's something else wrong, or if my manifold was causing it. I was idling around 650 rpm today which can't be good

 

damn. if you still have problems that sucks.
im debating if i even want to install mine or not. my plans are to get rid of my car once i can get a good job and find another car. i want a ss pretttttty bad but this isnt guna be happening anytime soon possibly next year is when i hope to be getting a new car.
so im not sure if i should install this and go along with my header and tune plan. or say **** it and just install my downpipe since i already have it.

 

I say wait for your tune. This thing will give you well over 10 hp with a tune

 

Did you install all new gaskets? Or just reuse the ones from your old intake?

 

i juwt hope we didnt get bad units.altho it looks nee mine was a tad dusty when i got it

 

it came with gaskets, and the manifold we purchased are good, bankerbalt used his without incident, but he is also tuned for it

 

Ok so I'm throwing 2 codes. P0171 and p2270. Anybody have any ideas?
