Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior poll on intakes

I'm very curious-I've seen a trend with injen Intake owners. I have one, and ppl I've talked seemed to have the same problem with their check engine light coming on after the Intake is installed. How many of you have Injen Intakes with this problem, and who has an AEM Intake with or without the problem?

ive got injen CAI with no CEL's ever

I had an Injen SR and the mounting bracket got ripped right out of the Intake tube. So yea i got a CEL. For SR i recommend a blitz and for CAI i recommend AEM.

I've got an Injen CAI too, but the darn CEL won't stay off.

someone posted about this earlier this week...jus check your MAF sensor...clean that sucker up

i agree with spyder

injen as well, and no cel's ever!!!

Injen as well, and ne cel's ever!!

There is a plastic tube thing comming out of the ECU box (i think thats what it is..) If thats not there i believe that will throw a CEL but i'm not sure.

I have an AEM CAI, and have never had a CEL

I have an Injen short ram and never had the CEL come on.
It helps to diconnect the bettery when you are doing the install and also right before you finish clean the MAF sensor. And do a quick double check to make sure that everything is connected right and there are no leaks.

Injen, No cel. Been on almost a year. Cleaned the filter twice.

Injen, no cel.

Make sure all hoses are plugged. When I installed my K&N Typhoon CAI, I did everything according to the instructions, but I still got a CEL. I plugged up the unused hoses and it hasn't come back on.

Guess my theory is off, I posted the same comment in her earlier post. I'm still stickin with AEM as my CAI choice.

AEm cai, had cel, cleaned MAF, no cel now.

Have AEM, had a cel but i forgot to plug up something did that and now i have no CEL what so ever

<<<ebay Intake with no CEL...

I have AEM and cel at first, then cleaned the maf sensor and the cel went away.

GT here with an Injen CAI, NO CEL

i have aem and i have the cel on all the time

GT here, Injen SRI...no CEL, no problems.

nuttin yet

Regardless of which brand of CAI or SRI you decide to go with, you won't get a CEL if the install is done correctly.

^^^
not really... even if install is done exactly as specified, one could forget to break it in or have a dirty mafs.

- case in point - I had no cel initially, but now it comes on periodically. I'm trying to drive easy on it now for a couple weeks and then try going full throttle to see if it'll be ok. If it comes back I'll clean the maf sensor. If that fails I might have to do some cutting...

GOT AEM NO PROB. FROM DAY 1...

injen sri, no probs

injen here, never any problems.

<< AEM CAI, CEL came on once.. but i had the blue and black cable mixed up. but other then that. no cel ever again

Hi!

I have Injen SRI. Had my first CEL after about 1 month, cleaned MAF, came back after 1 month, just disconnected battery this time, haven't had it now for about 2 months.

i've a injen SRI as well, everything fine since i installed back in early june...

Injen Short-ram, no problems!

K&N Shortram, no problems at all..

Hook up a vacum gauge and check for leaks, or pull the code from the ECU.

K&N no Cel's

I have an Injen CAI from years ago. I threw 2 Cels in the course of myself owning that CAI. They were all fixed by cleaning the MAFS and resetting the ECU. The CAI install, by a bunch of bananna eating primates, was great. The MAFS got some gunk on it during a period of time due to the K&N or any high flow filter make or design that one day threw the CEL. I switched filters because I was too lazy to clean mine and wait at the time so I purchased a dry filter with an open end funnel type (the only one I could get). I recently threw a CEL with that and cleaned the MAFS, reset the ECU, and all gone. I also passed NJ emissions with the new filter, so don't believe that getting a new filter will make you lose the carb exempt and fail for emissions according to Injen. I also never had or have any hesitation or bogging ever due to my CAI with the K&N or the "other" filter installed.

got K&N typhoon, no problem, very good product
