Good evening guys im Nick. just signed up to the club. im hoping i can bring you as much knowledge as you can bring me and more. i do need help however with my intake system. i saw a previous thread but with a dead end. i just installed an EAuto tuning intake from ebay onto the car and for some reason when i disconnected the battery to be safe a reset so it learns the new airflow it made my car bog should i step on it 60% or more. Also the check engine came on and TCS light flashes. i know theres no leak in the system because i checked thoroughly. any suggestions?

I'd put it back to stock and see if the problem goes away.

hey ek9! yeah i thought about doing that as well. but no point if i want to have the intake on it. any other suggestions?

You can try and flash the ECU

Try checking to see what codes your having. Do you have a picture of that intake. Ive never heard of them before.

I've known intakes to cause cels. Pull the codes as tj suggested and and contact the manufacturer to see if this is a known issue

Yea i know the SRT intake if you don thave the r-ecu then you would throw some codes. Im just thinking this could be the same type of intake that would need some type of ecu chip so that it would drive normal.

I'd contact the manufacturer. What's your reason for choosing that intake?

Hey jsap I'm new to all of this since all I worked on was rotary engines lol how do I flash the ecu?

Marinecorp

Got the code and it was p0141 which is heater bank sensor 2. That's the down stream O2 sensor. Now when the guy read the code it also said engine lean. I bought the car with the cel on. Can the O2 sensor plus the new air being inducted really throw off the mixture that much? And if I need to chip it or flash, can anyone suggest a good ecu flash or chip?

Hey Ford I bought the intake from eBay. EAuto tuning intake

That means you have a wiring problem or need a sensor. O2 sensors typically have 4 wires, 2 of them are for the heater and 2 for the sensor part. The ECU can tell if the heater is working from current draw. So, either there's a break in the wiring or the heater failed (or maybe the ECU fried but, that's probably rare).

I still think you should put it back to stock, fix whatever CELS you have first, then try again.

Marinecorp

Im gonna fix the O2 sensor today and see if that changes anything. If it doesn't its back to stock lol

So guess what the problem was guys. Not even the 02 sensors had anything to do with it. The MAF say too high on the intake which incorrectly read the air. Returning the intake to the manufacturer tomorrow
