GT having TCL prob with CAI

[logan]

this is for any gt owners who have installed a intake, i know that the CAI have had problems with messing up your TCL and such but i was jst wondering if SRI have that same problem, anyone who has a SRI if you could put some input on this subject cause i jst wanted to see if it was jst the longer intakes or if shorts did it as well

[MFTK]

i have the injen cai but i use it as a sri and ive had no problems with anything

[logan]

yeah thats what i was wondering cause i have seen some of the more expensive ones can convert to short but i wasnt sure if either short or long messed it up OHH do you have a auto trans or manual ?

[MFTK]

gots an 09 no choice but auto

[logan]

crap dude cause i have been hearing around here that this problem only happens to the manual transmission ones

[MFTK]

o damn

[HAHA NO]

Two piece CAI and no problems

Have you tried the reset procedure where you disconnect the battery and make it relearn its settings. If not try that. Do a search for reset procedure or maybe someone knows a link to it...little help here please.

When I installed my CAI it threw a code but after going through the reset procedure...no more issues from the CAI.

AEM are known to throw a code every now and again.

Take your time and read instructions when installing any mods on your car. Most problems occur when you hurry through an installation process. Do your reasearch (Search Button), tons of posts on Cold Air Intakes, so don't make the same mistakes that others have, and had to back-track to fix those little problems.

Disconnect your battery!! Anytime you are working on your car, and if it involves removing an electrical connector/s... Disconnect your battery!! Computers are involved in any and all electrical components, and they hate stray voltage stikes.

Don't cheap out on an intake system, you get what you pay for; you want problems and SES Lights, buy a cheap intake system!!

The MAF/IAT Sensor is very sensitive, don't bump, drop, or get it dirty!! They only cost $175.00 to replace.

Resetting/Relearning process for the ECU/PCM & Throttle Position Sensor after maintenance. Before starting any maintenance:

Turn all accessories off; Headlights, AC/Heater, Radio, etc. Make sure windows are rolled up and doors are closed before disconnecting the battery.

Disconnect the Negative battery terminal, then the Positive battery terminal. You can dissipate any stray voltage by applying the brakes, or by touching the Negative and Positive leads together after they have been removed/disconnected from the battery. If the battery is disconnected for a long period of time this should not be necessary.

Do your required maintenance, and after the maintenance is completed, do the following to reset/relearn the ECU/PCM and reset the Throttle Position Sensor to its neutral position.

Reconnect your battery terminals. First install the Positive lead, then your Negative lead.

Turn your ignition key to the “ON” position but do not start your car. You will hear some clicking under the hood, this is your Throttle Position Sensors relearning its neutral position. You may also have some flashing dash lights. Wait about two-minutes, then turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position for ten-seconds.

Turn your ignition key to start the engine; let the engine idle for at least ten-minutes. Your engine might idle rough at first, but it will smooth out as the ECM/PCM learns its new parameters. Turn the engine “OFF” for ten-seconds.

Restart the engine and take the car for a test drive for about 20 minutes. Normal driving, no hard accelerations or stops, do not WOT the engine (Wide Open Throttle). After your driving cycle, turn your engine “OFF”. Note: during this first drive cycle, take it easy on the engine for at least the first 30 miles.

From this point your engine should have learned its new parameters and should be ready for your everyday type of driving. If you get a SES Light or any other Lights, have someone check your OBDII for any set or pending codes, post those codes for further trouble-shooting.

thanks but i was jst wondering if anyone knew about if the SRI work better CAI for this prob but will try some of this stuff out, i remember on some other post simular to this one some guy told me that it only happens on the manual trans and something about the piping gets a weird vortex of air stuck up in it cause it to miss read and make it thing that your Traction control is off and that your spinning which if you have a GT and this has happend its not a huge deal but still pretty bad

go with a sri and heat shield u dont lose much power.. just the longer u drive

[pat_08GT_Spyder]

not sure what y'all talking about here...
Fujita CAI, manual, went through the "reset" procedure as described above, and never had any lights coming on because of the intake...
