Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior intake laggg "injen" helpppp plzzz.

does anybody have tis kind of problem before...i have cai injen Intake...i was reving at 2500 rpm and the whole car shaking and would not move, it seems dead for a momement...it seem like any thing under 4000 rpm the car is dead...but if i was rev 4000 rpm and up is find...could it happen b/c of to much air or what can i do about it...rev at 4000 rpm is kind of high i think...i install everything correctly..please help ppllllll...

we need more info.
is it gt or gts?
auto or manual?
are you talking about launching or just neutral reving?
then i might be answer your question

how long have you had it? what condidtions do you drive in?

if it's a cai they tend to get dirty rather quickly. if you've slung mud around the filter the air coudl have a hard time entering your engine at lower rpm's because your engine is sucking hard enough.

same thing if it's just old...the dirt will block air from entering your engine.

this would be more of a gradual thing though..like posted above me, we need a bit more info if we are to be able to help you more

this is a dyno from injen on a 6sp GTS...you will notice that it doesn't make a whole lot of power down low...you actually lose some...maybe this will explain the lag...

you need to clean your MAFS.

it will fix the problem.

i have 2000 gts..its a manual by ta way..my car is at 63000 miles now...I din't even know it happen after a week later when i was trying to race...i lived in nebraska...my filter are clean...i check every single week and make sure there no mud or anything other component could block the air...the laughing is the problem...it seem the air is not flowing right or low air..by the way...wat maf...is that help after i clean it...how much it cost to clean it...w/ my stock air..there no problem...but ever since the cai injen Intake install...the laughing are really suck...could not even take off right away...also when i start my engine and take off right away..sometime there even a lag when i press on gas pedal..it stop for 3 second then go then stop.its weird ever since the Intake install...plezzz let me know about it...does everybody have tis problem w/ injen Intake...?????

Well then get ready fer some more laughing

It may be a dirty mafs or an improperly installed one.

hey people...i need more help plzzzz...

did you check if the tube is broken??

yeah thats happened to people before, makes me happy i have AEM

after i first had my injen cai installed.. i was driving.. and sitting idle at a red light.. and it was like the car was having a heart attack.. it was stuttering.. and it stopped after i pulled into a parking lot and shut the car off and disconnected the battery then restarted the car.. it was fine after that.. i then later installed the injen short ram.. and have had no complaints! (knock on wood)

so basically nothin i could due about it huh...everybody w/ injen have a lag under 4000 then...let me update ppl...

Its not your Intake dood. One of two things:
1st clean your Mass Air Flow Sensor wire. Easy to do...check this site for instructions.
2nd.it could be your o2 sensor. If its bad you will run WAY lean. Cost ya about $130 to $150 to replace. When this is the case it makes your car run like you have bad gas or water in the gas. Hope this helps.

clean the maf air sensor

Have you taken care of you car's engine and the Intake? I've had an Injen CAI since they first made one for our cars. I've had all the problems associated with it including shaking, engine noise, poor idling, CEL, etc. A good tune-up (depending on the miles on your car) including engine purge, injectors cleaned, throttle cable, and throttle plate/throttle body (all could be done yourself with jack stands and the proper tools) will help. Check the connections everywhere including the one to your chasis. Also include cleaning the MAF properly and then resetting the ECU. Just proper maintenance for our cars. There is a bit of lag down low, but that's just Injen engineering. I have absolutley no problems with my CAI and Cels, acceleration, lag, throttle response, engine noise, or shaking for over a year. My Celica with 74,000 miles still wants to go fast all the time and smooth as butter.

yes and takes 5 mins
