K&N confusion

[dtruax]

when i had a square k&n that fit in the stock box everything was fine but when i took out the stock box and put a cone shaped k&n the CHECK ENGINE light came on. does anybody know why???

filter was probably over-oiled.. reset the light (disconnect the battery for about 30 minutes) and it should right itself after some time, if it keeps happening, remove the filter, clean it and lightly oil it then reinstall

You know, I would be curious. Take it in to a AutoZone, Shucks, whatever you have locally. They normally will plug in and scan for free hoping they can sell you something. Ever since I installed the Morgan Tec cold air induction, I have been getting the CEL and my scan gauge shows a P0113. I don't have the sheet handy, but that is air inlet temp something or other. With the K&N like the Morgan Tec, you are passing more air, wait, that sounds like flatulence. Anyway, not sure if it is the same or what the fix is other then expensive troubleshooting. My mileage is in the ballpark and it seems to be running fine.

well the TOD check light came on but that could just be the trani. so we took the vx to the dealer to fix all this and they called and said "we cant figure out my car because all the manuals dont match up correctly" has anyone been told this before???

Try removing the MAF sensor & cleaning it with MAF cleaner.
I've experienced the same problem in the past & found that excess filter oil was coating the "innards" of the MAF.
Be gentle, as the sensors are very delicate.

Also, the "honeycomb" thinger (an industry term) can be gently removed with a dental pic & tossed if you would like a bit more flow.

Ldub, thanks for the heads-up, will give that a try this weekend.
