so i didnt really think this could happen, but it did. my maf sensor is backwards!!! i didnt make anything of it when i installed the intake, but i called k&n, and they said it wasnt normal. they sent me a shitty intake tube. here are the photos, if you guys are confused onto what i mean. they are sending me a whole new intake kit (hopefully it works after i get this fixed)

There is never going to be anything c.a.r.b.ed for cobaltss/tc other then AEM and only for 08 year, not 09 or 2010, i emailed them and asked if there were going to make a c.a.r.b. intake for the 09 and 2010, they said most likely not, because there was not enough cobaltss sold to make it worth the investment of making the parts c.a.r.b. approved, i got the same answers from K&N, zzp, and tredstone. sucks

Sensor would be my guess. take it out clean it!.. might just be bad and have to replace it make sure that when you were doing the swap you didnt bang it up or anything.....

also if the maf on your le5 is like the one on the lsj you can just turn it around cause its not keyed. which would mean k&n didnt **** up and youre getting a free intake out of it for not paying attention hahhaa
