Just installed K&N cold air intake to my 2010 srt8 and car ran about 15 mins then went haywire. I checked for leaks or loose parts all looks good still runs bad, the only warning is the ETC,need a little help.

What do you mean haywire? is it showing codes?

 

[joedbox]

I have not been able to check the codes. It just runs really bad, no power missing and the etc warning is on.

Did you disconnect the battery prior to install, or pull the #2 fuse for a minute?????

 

[roadburn1987]

Did you put the air flowe sensor back in to the ne cai

 

[joedbox]

Yes I did disconnet the battery , followed all the instructions

 

[joedbox]

Did you put the air flowe sensor back in to the ne cai

Yes i pulled it back out and checked it it look fine, put it back in still runs bad..

Doesn't sound right. Try putting the stock unit back in,... see if it runs okay.

These aren't rocket science to install, so something got jacked up somewhere..

you must still have something unplugged. recheck the connection at the throttle body.

You didn't put alot of oil on the filter did you? The Himi tech at the dealership I go to says that oil can cause all kind of problems with throotle bodies.

What do you mean by "it runs really bad".

Is there an acceleration issue?
Is it hard shifting/no shifting correctly?
Are you getting a check engine light?

Another thought would be to clean the connectors for the intake temp sensor.

In the instructions, there's mention of drilling out the crank case vent hose to 0.75". You might check that connection as well.

Everything looks ok good I will put the stock back on and see what happens

Video or a pic may help.

Did you check inside the throttle body and the CAI tube for any debris, like paper.

 

[aarcuda]

sensor was left disconnected

 

[joedbox]

I put the old one back on check everything out still runs bad.. Car is at the dealership now..

All it takes is one poor connnection on any of a half dozen sensors for things to go haywire. I made a quick $100 fixing a friends Nissan Z car after one private garage and the dealer could not repair it. I had an advantage he had even bought the factory service manual. The very first paragraph said check all the sensors for corrosion. The car would start run a few seconds then shut down. The throttle position sensor was corroded, by chance it was the 1st thing I checked.Admittedly Nissan and Chrysler are two different brands and two different systems. BTW the dealer told him he had a bent crankshaft, and had charged for tearing down the motor.He had spent more than $1000 dollars. He just handed me the c-note out of gratitude.Nissan has some cool engineering, the PCM is self checking and has a little green light on the case eliminating the PCM as the cause for any problems.
