So I noticed this a week or 2 ago.. I have switched to my Injen CAI about a month or 2 from now which is my only mod. I have had a CEL light go off an on all the time and still doign the same. The problem with my car is not always occuring but sometime when Im just drivign or switching into a gear its like my car feels like its not getting enough fuel and wants to die or something.. Ill be driving and then the car starts like bogging like its lack of gas.. and Im not sure what could be causing this.. All I have is a cai and I did do one thing after the CAI which was before the problem started, which was reset the auxilery power by disconnecting the batter liek someone told me to do. (which didnt even reset anything) but if any ideas on what could be wrong that would be great thanks

 

Reset the auxilary power? What the hell is that? I have no idea what the issue could be with your engine bogging unless there is a blockage or leak with your installation.

 

I was told that the auxillery power is what is left in some part of the engine (where the power terminal is) and by keeping the car going for a few minutes is suppose to get rid of all that power and reset the MAF which will let it learn the new intake.. again this could be a total hoax but I was told to try that and nothing at all happend.. but as for leakage Ill have to check that out thanks.. I just dotn know why its takign this long for it to start leaking.. but hopefully it is something simple

 

I have the same problem with the cel but the engine doesnt bog down. i have noticed that my light comes on when the air temp is below 35 degrees. Then it will go out when the temp rises and goes through three driving cycles without coming on. I hope that helped out.

 

This is a common problem with the SS/SC using a CAI system. You are probably running a lean code. Put the old intake on and I bet it will stop. The GM staged upgrades are supposed to help also!

 

yea.. I have had a cel since The Fujita but never had any bogging problems.. but after I switched to Injen I still had the CEL and a month or 2 later got the bogging.. Im also getting the Stage Kit so that is deff. great news to know that its been getting rid of the CEL's .. I even might try goign back to a Fujita considering the one I sold to alleycat58 has fit perfect with no problems except a cel

 

I bought new spark plugs to see if that would help any with the cel or the bogging, but havent had the chance to put them in yet because of lack of tools lol. but I dont even know how good this plugs are I just bought them fast because I was in a hurry to get rid of this bogging and these were teh best they had which are Splitfires

 

Are you using any ethanol blended gasolines?

 

the only gas I ever use is 93 Shell V-power

 

but someone did mention I might have got bad fuel.. but even the past 3 times after I had the same problem

 

There had been a report I believe on shell gasoline additives gumming up fuel lines somewhere, I just can't find it... I'll keep looking...

 

o really.. damn if thats the case then I guess im going to have to find a new place to get quality gas.. but if you find that article that would be great thanks

 

I tryed searching too.. I couldn't find the article about it gummign up the fuel lines but I did find this... http://www.local6.com/automotive/3378460/detail.html

 

Spend a little extra and run the sunoco 94..... have never had a problem with it, and everyone with performance lives by it (for street use that is)

Too bad sunoco 94 isnt available everywhere yet.

 

yea I kno.. I was lookin for one around here a while ago.. I think I saw one once but they didnt have 94 unfortunetly

 

the way to do that, is unhook the battery, then depress the brakes to use all up the rest of the energy in the car

 

o really.. I just thought I had to disconnect it and turn the key to the on position and get rid of the power that way and leave it on for about 10-15 minutes.. Then after conencting I idled it for like another 15 minutes and nothing changed.. is pressing the brakes the only way? and how long would I Have to do that for

 

Actually I no longer have a CEL with the Fujita either.

Where are you shifting at in the RPM band? I noticed with the Fujita it is slightly more likely to bog downin the lower RPMs.

 

I had that happen on my honeymoon 2 years ago in my Parent's Saturn Vue... after filling up at shell.

 

we have that down here. they also offer 103 octane from what ive seen. conviniently that sunoco is directly off the road where everyone races on firday and saturday nights.

 

yea Im going to stop going to shell now.. I thought v-power was really good for my car from all the things I heard about how it cleans your engine and stuff.. I happend to find a Sunoco and it was right next to my work lol.. unforunetly it doesnt offer anything higher than 93 Octane. but Ill go with that since IM hearing these bad things about shell now

 

the Fujita I never had any problems with bogging.. but yea it does seem to happen when in the lower rpms.. if I try and ignore it and accelerate it will just start shakin and bogging a lot more so I have to let off the gas for a bit and then just hope it stops

 

The Intake Could Be Loose, Or A Leak

 

Yeah, I get the CEL every now and then with my Fujita. I've only experienced bogging if I'm in Cruise Control going down hill. Luck for me... I have the Mac tools CODE READER! Too Lean, that is the code I hate the most... I went a good 3000 miles with out it once. But here in the last month it's popped up a good 10-15 times... and it's usually when I'm cruising... not when I'm on the trottle, not when I let off... cruising between 2250 and 2750 rpm. Pisses me off. GM has a performance intake for the 2.2... I don't know why they don't have one for the SuperSweet Supercharged driver like ourselves.

 

Getter better quality gas in your car is better than getting a higher octane, otherwise it don't matter the octane. (other than the obvious of putting premium in a mandatory premium gas car aside of course)

Unless you're running some serious boost or NOS, not much point in paying more for higher octane. Getting better gas mileage with premium is credited to higher octane gases usually being cleaner.
