Few questions on problems.

Proposed · 02-09-2016, 03:44 PM

Hello, recently my car started to bog a little bit at idle and I then recieved a service engine light. After some inspection I found the CAI must of not been tightened enough when I put my HFC on. (Had friends helping and didn't check the clamps myself) One of the tubings slipped out of the throttle bottle and had about a half inch area where unfiltered air could get too. How much damage did it do.

Zero to very little, unless you drove through a sand storm.

Yea you should be fine especially if you caught it right away.

Would that throw an O2 code? I don't think I got a code from the MAF sensor..

Fix the pipe and clear the code. And see if it comes back.

unhooking the battery for a few minutes may work, cheap fix
