CAI problem returened

[Ugly Pete]

that problem with no throttle responce in the morning returned after 2 weeks from cleaning the MAFS. its even worse now. i took it to the toyota dealer and they kept it overnight to see if they can recreate the problem. they said they are replacing the MAFS under warranty :D

hey, maybe thats what i need......my car has the same problem.....

[gts24]

Wow, that's cool that they are replacing it even though you dont' have stock components surrounding it...

very interesting. Do you have one of those uncommon superdealers? ;)

[Ugly Pete]

hehe. yep. daytona toyota is awsome. they put in a new comptuer in my car and replaced some things i cant remember what that were misfireing under waranty and i had mods done. but they wont fix the neon they broke =P

[SlasherX]

thats an odd problem? never heard of a CAI causing no throttle response at all.

what happens if the new MAF doesnt fix it?

[Ugly Pete]

they said its either that or something in the fuel injectors

[gts24]

Hey ugly pete, are you really that ugly? :D

[Ugly Pete]

=P long story, but no

Still doesn't make sense..

i dont think it will fix it.
you have a problem with your cai leaking air somewhere.
im getting a new tube from injen pretty soon so ill know in a few days.
i had the injen in and it was causing a cel and i would reset it and i had hesitation whenever i floored it or even stepped on it a little bit.
i sent the tube back to injen for a replacement because i found where the leak was. but when i put my stock airbox back on all the power was on tap and the cel went off.

they installed a new ecu, does your car still rev to 8400 or did they limit it??

It will still hit the old limit - theres a TSB on this - the ECM was developed because they were having problems with teh CEL coming on with code P0300 because it was too sensitive to small amount of misfire... If memory serves there was also an associated injector issue.

bah, its an automatic so it still limits at 7800, but now i cant have overdrive off in manual mode.

i got my car back today. they said they couldnt fix the problem with low throttle responce with a cold engine, but with the new MAFS there is a definate difference in driving. it runs so much smoother and has MUCH faster acceleration!

MAFS costs around 200 bucks

Does any one with a GT have this problem I am thinking of getting a CAI but I keep on hearing about the problem on GT-S, 2 of my friends with GT-S's and Ingen CAI's have the same problem.

[revelation2k]

you guys think toyota will replace my MAF under warranty for free??????? what do i tell them????
