Car threw a code today

FrancoPhoto · 05-27-2012, 10:51 PM

I got 2020 miles on the Nismo .

I have Berk test pipes and injen CAIs

Both mods went in together about 1.5 weeks ago.

You think the test pipes thre the code?

I'm not sure about the test pipes, but the Intakes may be a cause. I know that to install them, you have to mess with a sensor (I think it's the MAF sensor). If this was not properly re-installed, it may throw a code.

But there are other common causes that are not quite as serious, such as not tightening the gas cap enough.

Yea, totally free and fast at nearest Autozone.

Not a bad idea.

OBD-II readers are a little pricey, but very handy if you don't want to drive out the next time this happens.

It's likely your downstream o2 sensors because you removed the cats.
