HELP PLEASE - issues after stillen cai gen3 install

Powerwiz · 01-18-2015, 06:13 PM

Did he run it without the MAF not in the CAI? Did he disconnect the battery when he installed it?

Its a pretty straight forward procedure to install this..seems to be the main one that everyone on here installs. I myself installed it this week with zero issues. Its something your dealer did.

Just because its GTR certified does not mean there actually good. I dont see how installing that has anything to do with the warranty.

The salesman told me,that MAF was in, reading completly messed values.. My first question was also : did You unpluged the battery first? Response - Im not sure.... Could have been damaged MAF this way? If so, how is possible that car is runnig with stoc intake without problem? (At least they told me so-tomorrov im going there as surprise)

Yes you do unplug the battery first to reset the ECU. By the time you are done its reset...well actually faster then that but you disconnect the battery first. The directions state that as well.

In the directions it specifically states as well to not run the car without the MAF's inserted back in..doing so can cause issues..perhaps he did.

I don't know you read the directions to install it but its pretty simple...18 steps I believe. The only hard thing about it is dremeling or enlarging the vent ducts and thats more of a pain in the butt then hard.

Perhaps he really did. Perhaps he doesnt even understand english, and has no clue when looking at instructions seeing start/stop button.

But then again, if the car is running with no issues when put the stock intake on,shouldnt be there critical damage..Lets see it in cca 3 hours..

The only thing I can think of they might have missed some hoses or correctly install the MAF (mass air flow)sensor.

As powetwiz stated this should be a straightforward install.

Let it run for a few miles give the EcU time to relearn and it would adjust itself.
