AEM intake installed, I think i lost power
#36
I'm running the factory airbox with the idi snorkle and factory exhaust. It dyno's with more power than over a dozen other locals with aftermarket exhaust and intakes. Go figure?

xviper,
I have a injen CAI and a sheepdog exhaust on ma 2001 S. So I should pull the fuse for 30 secs to reset it? I didnt know that this should be done after every mod. Its a daily driver and i'd say its been about over a year since i've had these mods.
Also, If i reset the ECU, how will i know if there IS something wrong with my car? Thanks,
TonyJ

Pulling the fuse isn't a necessity, but if your maps are significantly off baseline (for whatever reason) doing so may help the ECU learn the changes brought on by the new mod a little faster. Once in a while someone will add a mod and make a mistake...doing so causes a CEL. When the mistake is something simple, like swapping two vacuum lines, pulling the fuse will reset the CEL and it should not pop up again for the same reason. However, if you pull the fuse just to reset a constant CEL, then you may be doing damage since the computer is trying to tell you something is wrong.

After a year, your ECU has learned new parameters long ago. I wouldn't bother about it now. Unless you've seen the CEL, you won't have any noteworthy codes anyway. If you have seen one, then yes, go find out what it is if it keeps coming back.
