Injen CAI Filter Maintennance?
Yes, I did a search on this... but was wondering how often do you have to clean the filter and how do you clean it and where do I get the cleaner??
Thanks in advance

Unless you live in an extremely dusty, dirty environment, once a year oughta do it. Go get the K&N filter cleaner kit. It has the cleaner and re-oiler in it. Just follow the instructions within. For drying the filter after the clean but before the oiling, I put the shoe drying rack into my laundry dryer, put the filter on it and run it on air only for about an hour. Or leave it outside in the shade on a nice day for a few hours.

ok i'm back after all this time--where can i order the filter cleaner? do you think if my air filter isn't clean--would it cause my car to hesitate when i start it--i just picked it up from dealer and they said everything checked out great--but sometimes when i start it up--it hesitates and then dies or when i'm driving--it kind of pauses--

Have you done any sort of intake or exhaust mods lately? Has the outside temp and humidity taken a sudden change either up or down? Have you recently started using your A/C? All of these things may contribute to the stalling or "near stall" characteristics. You might also try to re-set the ECU. This can be done by pulling the "BACK UP" fuse on your underdash fuse panel. It's a 7.5 amp fuse. Look at the "legend" printed on the driver's kick panel to see exactly which one it is. With the car shut off, pull this fuse for about 30 seconds and put it back in. This will aid the ECU to learn any new parameters the car may be experiencing lately.

again thanks for all your tips--i thought it was the mapsensor but they had already replaced that a few months ago--yeah it's been real humid out here--yup and i just start using the a/c maybe like 6-7 months now--but it's probably the map sensor and humidity combo--
gosh and I've thought about selling my car...what would i do without you guys!!
redS2...yeah i think it's about that (ahem) to clean me filter ha
