there is a hose(3/4" plastic hose) that was originally connected to the stock filter box. Now that i'm putting on injen intake there is no place for the extra hose... if someone has run into this problem, please advise me of what i should do...

ur cobalt is a 06 and might have this... which requires a certian intake...i will be more than happy to take ur injen off ur hands

 

do you mean the breather lin for the valve cover? there should be a prot on the intake for it.


bah forgot about that crap....

 

no, i think it's the SAI problem now.

 

yah it probably is and .....i will gladly take ur injen off ur hands

 

i discarded that hose over a year ago when i installed my intake, no problems other than the loud noise from the SAI pump on cold startup.

 

u just dont wnt me to get the intake!...lol jk

 

Stick a $5 dollar breather filter from an autoparts store on the end.

 

pretty much, yeah

 

cant u be nice to a fellow cobalt owner

 

you can stop DMAN.

 

my bad!!

 

yeah our cars run fine with no SAI hose, I disconnected it at the pump

 

i put the breather filter on yesterday and I have a check engine light on, will this go away or did i f up my car and need to take it in for service?

 

Thats weird...I put a breather filter on mine and it hasn't thrown a CEL once. Going on 6 months now i think.

Connect the stock airbox back on for a bit and drive it and see if the CEL goes away. If it does then try the new intake again, maybe sure everything is tight on it. We had to use electrical tape to make a snug enough fit with the SAI and breather filter.

Heres a link to the How To I made on it, hopefully it will help: https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/how-guide-43/how-2-2l-sai-cai-easy-fix-85867/

 

thanks for everyones help, the CEL officially went away this morning when after I was driving around for about ten minutes. Thanks for all the tips, it helped a lot.

 

The CEL is probably more a result of the intake then the breather line. The extra air coming through the intake is not being metered by the MAF correctly, causing the CEL.
