Eclipse intake problems

hey gusy just needed some advice... I have a check engine light turned on since i got the AEM cold air intake. Well when i got it checked the air pressure is too high. So in order to adjust that i need to get more fuel suplied. Here are my options get a mass air flow sensor or get mass fuel injectors and a high pressure fuel pump.. What do u think will work better. lemme knoe
insane people should be taken seriously

I dont think installing a Cold Air Intake will throw a CEL for anything fuel related.
Air pressure too high? Sounds like BS... I'd reset the ECU and go from there. Does the car use a MAF or MAP?

??? Reset the ecu like rj says. If the cel light persists get them to actually write down the code for you and find out what it really means.

your problem is most likely related to the flux capacitation on the inner turbulance seal. It just means you need a polished GSX intercooler to replace your current unit (assuming yours is turbo charged). Check the for sale section, I think someone has one for sale.

CEL's are mostly related to emmisions junk. probably a coincidence it came on when you put on your intake. your O2 sensor is prob. bad.

ScottyB Wrote:CEL's are mostly related to emmisions junk Yes and no... on OBD-II cars, anything emissions related will throw a code, but there are still other performance related things that can set it off. Does the car have a MAF or MAP?

Heres something that hasnt been mentioned yet.
Clean your MAF. Go to autozone or radioshack and get CDS electronics cleaner. Electromotive or the other stuff. Alot of times these pre-oiled filters that come with intake systems get oil on the MAF which can get it dirty, and then along with an oily MAF means that theres now a surface that debris can adhere too. This adds to the problem. Id try this first. Ive had this happen first hand and had a few friends with the same issue. This was mostly with K&N filters but could just as easily happen with any other oiled filter. Its worth a shot, even if its not the cause of the CEL youll still probably find that your MAF needed cleaning anyhow.

boomz:
What did you do with the large EVAP vacuum hose that was running to your original rubber intake pipe? What model Eclipse is this? Chris

It's a 420a. It has a map sensor.

I don't know much about the 420a either. But the cel and the install of the cold air have to be coincidental unless he messed something else up while doing it.
