okay so today i installed my cobalt addiction s/s header. my cobalt has the shitty sai system that most of us know very well and despise very much so. i am getting a tune so i did what anyone else in my position would probably have done...i removed the sai system fully aware that i would throw a cel after i finished the installation of the header...well i started this whole thing around 2pm...prior to this i drove a total of 15 miles normal highway driving so the car was hot..i let it sit til about 3 pm and started my work...finished the header and whatnot after bullshitting with some friends and taking a drink break or two or three (gotta love alcohol lol) i finished the header around 6pm...now i went to start the car and turned it on and waited for the cel to come on...waited...still waited...still waited...surprisingly after 3 minutes of staring at my gauge cluster i did not throw a cel...im pretty sure the car would have been cooled down to the point where the sai system would have turned on...so im a little puzzled...anyone think they know what might be going on?

 

I would wait a day or two before I call it 'confirmed'.

 

did you remove the pump, or just the tubes?

 

removed the pumps near the exhaust and the intake and the tubing

 

hmmm i bet they'll turn on after 50 miles or so.

 

wait till tomorrow morning. the ecm probly has an internal timer that won't try to turn on the pump and check the system untill it sees a certin amount of time off.

 

yeah it turned on after sitting for 4 more hours in cold air and rain...guess i was getting my hopes up for nothing lol oh well time to find a lsj downpipe and get a tune
