I put a injen cold air intake in approximately 4-5 months ago in my cobalt and everything was working fine. Last night on Jan. 27th my check engine light came on and I am perplexed as to why? Any thoughts cause i dont want my warranty to void. thanks for the help.

 

You're warranty won't be voided.

Have the code read.

 

We can' tell you crap until you have the CEL Code read.

Goto Autozone they do it for free

 

its just throwing codes go to autozone and check what code it is!

 

It could be that your low on blinker fluid

 

You can go to any Auto Zone or Advanced Auto and get a free code read. More than likely it is just the Too Lean code. I've got $20 on the Too Lean code!

 

better not be that injen, i just got mine

 

I bet the mas airflow sensor is getting bad readings due to the oil from the injen filter. I have seen it a million times. That's why I went with AEM.

 

ya I already toasted one maf do to the injen filter

 

my injen doesnt throw any codes but as far as warranty dont worry about it bc you will still have one

 

If you install the stock airbox before bringing it in. Dirty it up a little bit too. Too many people just put the shiny, barely used stock parts on and get caught. Make it dirty to match the rest of the engine bay and you won't be questioned.

 

Exactly. That DryFlow filter is a major plus for the balt's rediculously sensitive sensor.

 

It's stealthy too since you can only see it if you remove the LF tire and fender liner. Just like my GM stage 3 pulley. You would never notice unless you measured it.

 

did you get gas just before the cel came on ? cause it could just be an evap code

 

How much is the AEM dryflow? its been a year,might as well get rid of the injen filter

 

My AEM cost $224 Cdn shipped to my doorstep, and i haven't thrown any codes, good pressure wash or not!

 

I bought mine on ebay brand new for $185 (shipping included)

 

sorry,meant just the filter.

 

My dryflow cost 35$. I wouldn't run any other filter on my car. It's easy to maintain and no cels.

 

Check gas cap, make sure its tight, i have actually brought my car into the dealership because of the stupid gas cap light.

Also, try unplugging your battery cable for like 15 minutes and then hooking it back up and crank the car up. If the problem is no longer detected, the CEL will go off. If the problem is still present, then have the code read.

 

samething happens to me ... i took it in for service and it said its running to lean...maybe the cold winter air could have something to do with it...?

 

thanks for all the feedback guys , well i started it up yesterday for the first time in 3 days cause i have my winter car too that i switch back and forth with and i drove it around for the good part of the day and the check engine light was on for about the first 5 minutes and it turned off and hasnt come on since, so.... i guess we'll see what happens from here.

 

Just because the CEL is gone now doens't mean the code is. Your computer still has the fault code stored, and you should STILL get it scanned.

I don't understand why people are so afraid to do that.
