I have read most of the post that I can find. I have called RRM and taken it to the Mitshu ppl but I still can't get rid of the CEL. Any help??? I have checked all the fittings. I have even put a small bead of silacon around the MAS to seal it up tight. I backed the air filter out some just to make sure I was getting the right flow. And I have reset the computer and let the car idel for about 10 mins. Any other suggestions??

 

what was the code that mitsu pulled?

 

Here we go again...


Make sure the filter isn't installed too far onto the end of the CAI pipe.

Make *SURE* the MAS is installed correctly. If you had to lay a bead of silicone on it to get it to seal, it's probably not right.

Make sure the CAI - rubber intake hose connection is tight.


Once all that checks out, then reset your ECU. If you still get a CEL, get the code pulled and come back here.

 

Myszkewicz yeah I have done all that I can read. I wouldn't have asked has I not done the normal stuff. I believe that the code was high mass airflow.

 

make sure the MAS is in correctly.....could it be backwards?

 

oH you mean you are supose to put that thing back in??

 

haha, hold on , your kiding right ?

hey, why dont you get a good and upclose pic of your set up and the position the sensor is in so we can take a look at it .

 

yes I was kidding. just to let everyone know I ahve the arrow on the MAS pointed to the rear of the car. Can we get pass this.

 

it is looking like something I am prob just going to have to live with.

 

Call us again. The filter being on too far on the pipe is another thing some guys do but check it out. CAi does not cause CEL. this is for sure.

How is your car running? If it feels like it's in limp mode, your MAF could be toasted.

 

hi mas air flow? never heard of this. what was the numeric code, and ill check on it for you.

 

I also ran into CEL, but it shouldnt be a problem. Otter is right, check if your car is running fine, fine as in normal, and not just "enough" to get you somewhere safe(like home). If your car revs normal, drives normal then most likely nothing is wrong. My CEL went away after my work shift of 8 hrs, though its probably still in the computer.

btw this is unlikely, but check that your gas tank cap is on correctly
