Im a noob, yes I know. But I havent done this since Auto tech.
Just the negative side. You dont need to remove the battery. Its a circuit. If you make a break in it, It would do anything. I disconnect the black.

So all you do is turn off the engine, and remove the cover to the battery, and disconnect the negative? Hmmm, sounds pretty easy.

No. No codes thrown from it though. However now, the car has countless codes thrown....some from my cat-less midpipe, some from my car being un-tuned and running rich.

Thats what all the chilton manuals say to do. If you remove the red one, It could ground out the the frame and cause even more problems.

When you installed your intake, did you connect two connectors to the intake?

Do you need that for the intake? Or just leave it loose?

Well this doesnt apply seeing as the intake for the 2.2 and the 2.4 are the same intakes.

Not really. The fujita intake I had was about 2.5 inch diameter. My K&N is like 3inch. So Im sorry but I would beg to differ.

thats the individual intakes. Go look on ANY site. All the intakes are for either model. In fact 90% of the parts on the market are good for the 2.2 AND the 2.4.

Before you beg to differ, check out the data.
