So I installed a Cold Air Intake and hooked everything up. This was prolly 5-6 weeks ago. I drove it around for a bit and the check engine light came on. I looked on here (forums) and people said it was normal. 1) will that ever adjust itself, 2) will I need to plug in the sensor to the motor that has no place to go (green plug that went on airbox).
That isnt my problem but still want to know. So, 2 days ago, I was sitting a light and I noticed my car was jerking as if it was not getting enough fuel. I had the traction light come on while this was happening. I pulled over to the side, turned off my car then started it again and everythign was fine. Then on the way home, It happened again. This time however, I could not accelerate. I could down shift and the RPM's would go up as normal but still couldn't downshift. All thie dash lights came on again. Once again, I turned it off and turned it on and it worked fine. It happened one more time the next day, but this time the power steering went off as well.
I then proceeded to take it to AUtoZone where I woudl have them run a diagnostic. They did and 13 codes popped up. Mostly about my car runing too lean and the 02 sensors reading my car running lean. 3 dealer codes popped up too. So I took it into the dealer where they charged me $92 to tell me what the codes meant and that the dealer codes meant there was a forced shutdown due to the o2 sensors shutting down.
What do I need to do to solve this problem. I read on the forums already about some thingk it could be the throttle body and what not. The guy at the dealer, however, it was all directly related to my CAI which they couldnt touch because it was after market.
Is there a good name out there that should be able to work on my aftermarket stuff should there ever arise a problem?
I know this is a lot of information, but I decided that I would just do it all now and let you guys take a gander. No flaming please. Thanks!
