Cold Air Intake

[LadiesMan217]

I'm thinking of going to another kit seeing as my K&N keeps making my engine throw lean codes. It happened for the second time last week, and then again today.

That's odd, i've never had problems with the K&N that was on mine :/

I've been thinking about it and it might be simply a bad mass airflow sensor. So I've erased the code, put in a richer grade gas, went form 89 to 91, and I took out the mass airflow sensor itself cleaned it with some mass airflow sensor cleaner. I'm going to put it back in the car and see what happens. Funny thing is it only seems to happen when it gets below 60 F.

91>93 just throwing it out there

Filled it up last night after I reset the code. I'll see what happens with 91 first I guess. Then there is always 93. I really hope it's just a bad sensor so I can keep the CAI.

I know that some others have the K&N and haven't had an issue, but I have heard more people having this issue with the K&N vs virtually no reports of this issue with other mfg's intakes. While it's possible it's a bad sensor, I don't think the odds are good for that.

thats weird as i haven't any codes since installed over 10k ago

Could just be a bad mass air flow sensor. Well, I'm hoping it's that simple. I'd rather not have to get rid of the K&N.

Anyone selling a used CAI? Let me know! Thanks!

Careful. Some LLT intakes won't work on the LFX.

Yeah I've noticed I've been searching a lot and i can't find that many i guess I'm going to have to wait a bit ;/

What do you guys think about this intake I just want your opinion before I buy it thanks!

2012 Chevy Camaro Injen Power Flow Cold Air Intakes - Injen PF Intake - Reviews & Installations

Ah I did tons of research on that intake, because I bought an injen. I went with the Short Ram by injen because I was worried about the air filter being so low and heard reviews about people having issues with water getting into the filter.

[JBruno88]

doh, nvm thats not the injen i looked at, thats specifically for the 12. disregard my last post.

[mortalpl]

Yes i also wanted to ask about the cold air intake because i was planing on geting that one and he recommended a filter wrap if i was to go with that will it stop the water from getting in is it a good idea to get it for Chicago driving?
