Thats it. I dont recall mine having the stock one on left. Someone said not all c5 came with that screen. Or maybe previous owner took it off..as long as that dam light is gone now.

 

No prob. I try to keep an eye for this thread. Pay it forward..i imaging someone could spend alot of time and $$ trying to solve that issue when all you need is that 50$ item. Hell took me 2 months...good luck enjoy no more light

 

Hey installed it tonight, drove around a bit, still get the knocking pinging bucking and rough idle. What next, I hadn't erased the check engine light and fault codes yet, that shouldn't have any effect on it should it?

 

i cant remember how long it took to go off. It does take a fer cycles. Drive it 20 miles turn it off drive more same thing. Mine went off in a day or two i believe but i drove it alot. Maybe clear it out so it will be fresh..

 

Keep us posted......

 

Thanks, drove it to work today, I will also try to clear out the Codes tonight to see if that would help. It was a little hard trying to push the orginal screen out, that puppy was wedged in there.

 

Wait. Your old MAF had a screen? If so, then you didn't need the honey comb. The honey comb was only required for a MAF that didn't have a screen.

You have other issues if that is the case. You either have an air leak or you just need a quick tune because you are actually going lean. That is what happened with my vert. I checked and double checked all of the connections and was still getting lean codes. A tune fixed it right up.

 

also dbl check connection to maf. And couplings are tight and no air gaps. If no change by tommorow i would reset codes and unhook batt for 5 mins. Then it should reset properly with that screen. Or whatever the tech terms are.hope you know what i mean.

 

If all else fails, I will get the tune, how much should that run and what type of places can do that type of work

 

Where you located? I paid 400.00 for first tune and 150.00 for retune. If need be fi d a reputable shop that does vettes,camaro ect..

 

I live in Camp Springs, Maryland

 

If you just have an intake, you can get a mail order tune from someone like ECS.

 

Cant help you there. Hopfully someone will chime in with info. If not post another thread looking for tuner in ...........

 

Bought a DTC reader, same codes are set it came back o tonight. I will try unhooking the battery and cycling that, if not I will start making phone calls trying t find a shop to tune

 

Here's my story... Maybe some if this could help.

I took my Blackwing, MAF, Air Bridge, and Couplers off to clean. I reassembled everything and took it for a drive. When I got on the gas, my CEL came on. The car ran fine but the CEL concerned me. After I got home, I pulled the codes. The codes were basically LEAN codes and relating to MAF low voltage. I also found that I didn't lined up the "notch" when I re-installed the MAF and coupler.

I started searching on the forum and found a post regarding "over oiling the air filter". The remedy was to remove the MAF and clean using the "MAF Cleaner". I done this then cleared all the codes. I took another drive and rechecked for codes. No codes!

Now my dilemma was that my license tabs were to expire in two weeks and I needed the emission test. I found the "GM Drive Cycle" and performed it twice following the directions carefully.

I then took a chance and gone for my emission test thinking that if I failed the first time, I could do more drive cycles and retest later.

I passed with flying colors! and really relieved.

So if you had removed your MAF or re-oiled your air filter... you'll might want to try what I did. It worked for me.

 

Did you try just reinstalling your original intake to see if this solves the problem of the engine running poorly and not setting codes. Don't throw too may things at it until you are sure you have found the cause. Ultimately you may just need a tune to get the engine's computer to adapt to the new cai but if it's put back to original and still have problems then you need to retrace your steps and figure out what is wrong. My guess is you have a leak somewhere or a dirty maf or bad electrical connection if it isn't just a tune issue.

 

I will try all of that this weekend, cleaning the filters and resetting the system

 

Keep in mind... make sure that "notch" lines up between the MAF and the coupler. If it is not lined up properly, that is where it's going to leak.

Good luck!


Actually... the notch is in the air bridge where the MAF fits. Sorry for the confusion.

 

I am going to check the notches

 

Well here are the results so far, removed the twin air intake system and put back on the stock system with the K&N filter, no codes, runs smooth as butter. What I am going to do now is remove the twin filters and clean them, replace the system and see what happens.
