My ultimate fix for the fujita sri ses problem!!

Ok guys, I made a hypothesis, and tried it, and so far soo good. With version 1 of my pipe, i got the ses light MONTHS after i installed my intake. Kind of upset me. I cleaned it, pput it back on, got it the next day. Then one day, was attempted to install a tornado, didnt fit, so i put my filter back on, but my ses light was gone. And stayed off...this confused me. So a couple days ago, i got intake pipe VERSION 3, and installed it. Got a SES the next day. Kind of upset me, but made me wonder, what if it wasn't the MAF position, but actually the angle of the end of the intake where the cone is attached. I had to try something!!


My FIX:
So i loosened the clamp on the hose, and pushed the cone filter back into the intake pipe a little more.
I didnt do it too much, just enough so it was angled a little different then when it was attached at the very end.
If you push it back too far, your engine might receive less air, but a little so its at a different angle than before should be good.
This turned my SES light off. Since when I did this with my version 1 pipe, and it worked for months till i installed version 3, and now its gone again, I encourage all of you to try the same thing
If if comes back on, try to push it a lil deeper in, and again.

Short version of the fix for those of you who don't like to read:
1) Loosen clamp on filter itself
2) Push Cone Filter deeper into the pipe, thus changing the angle which it collects air
3) Tighten clamp agian, and either disconnect negative cable then reconnect to reset code, or use an OBD2 Scanner




Leme know how it works guys!!!! If this hypothesis proves correct, then there is actually no error witht he MAF position on the intake, but the angle of the end of the pipe. Leme know!!
