So as some of you guys know I removed my turbo for smog and practicality reasons a while ago. Now I am getting bored with the car again so I put back in my custom made K&N cold air intake and it was running and feeling great... until yesterday. I got a check engine light yesterday, and upon doing a little bit of searching on the interwebs I found that CAIs are know to cause lean codes. The thing is, I actually have a SAFC-II still installed from when I had my turbo, just running at 0% adjustment for fuel levels.
My question is, can I adjust the SAFC for low and high throttle levels so that the car doesn't run lean and the CEL doesn't come on? And if so, what % increases should i do for different RPMs? I'm on stock injectors btw. Right now I am thinking like 5-10% increase across the board for lo-points and 10-15$% across for hi-points??? THANK YOUS! |

A CAI isn't likely to cause a 7A-FE or a 5S-FE to run lean. That's more for MAF cars where the sensor hasn't been properly installed or the alignment of the bracket isn't 100% dead on on the aftermarket CAI causing the airflow reading to be slightly incorrect.

So might I have a problem like this? I don't understand what you mean my alignment. |

This is why I said it's unlikely that the CAI is your problem. Most likely you just forgot to hook something up or did so improperly -------------------- ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM) Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
