I know its a problem that everyone has had, well now its the second time for me. Only this time it happened on a major highway so i had to drive about 2 miles stopping every few hundred feet to keep putting the pipe back on becasue i didnt have a damn screw driver, then when it popped off one time the clamp disapeared on the road. So i had to drive a little ways to get to a part store to get a clamp and a screw driver.

Well after i finally got another clamp i got it back together and got back on the highway. Well after about 20 more miles it went off again. So i stopped fixed it, then when i started the car again the CEL was on. What does this mean?? Im guessing the plugs are fuct. Someone help me out what should i do??

 

Disconnect your battery and see if you throw another CEL

yea i thought of that, but the first time it happened i know the dealer towed my car cuz i didnt know what it was, and my mechanic said he cleaned my plugs. will they get f'ed up if i drive without the pipe on?

its dark now will try doin the battery thing 2mmorow

 

they will foul quickly. I have an OBDII scanner and can clear your codes if you need it.

 

so can i drive to the dealer from bel air to towson on bad plugs so i can get them to fix it all for free?

 

you cheap @ss!!

 

bro, a screwdriver doesn't cut it for tightening up an IC pipe that keep blowing off.

Go home, get your ratchet/socket set out and tighten all of the worm clamps up real good and you will be done with it...

You don't need to run out and get T-bolt clamps unless you are running some serious boost on meth or race gas...

 

damn plugs aint cheep haha, ijust had to buy a 4k t-case because mitsu sucks *** and some one broke out my window last night along with 20 other cars in my neighborhood which cost me 50 plus 42 for new tint, so i dont need to spend any more $$ right now

 

yea no **** but the fact is that i was 45 min from home and thats all i could get and 2nd that doesnt answer my ? about my CEL and the plugs

 

^^^ and if it's your LICP that keeps coming off, take it off the car and have it bead rolled better...

 

ok your done. its the UICP that connects to the throttle body

 

it happen to me today too as i was leaving moroso which got cancelled cause it rained but oh well guess ill try again next wednesday night lol

 

the cel is probably for air flow cuz mine popped off once and for me, the cel was a air flow code...

 

thanks first helpful post. so should i tighten the **** outta the new clamp, take it to mitsu and just have them fix it? i have my warrenty still

 

um, okay... I was honestly only trying to help...

I have had the UICP pipe blow off at the TB many times on the highway; to the point where now I actually keep a small ratchet with the correct-size socket in my car, just in case.
