Installed a cai on my girls spyder, its been running awsome for the last month..now the engine light is on, and theres no code..??anyone have any clue about these cars??Im not that great with the 1zz-fe motor..thanks

 

find toyota board......best choice

 

Check to make sure that the MAP/MAF sensor is firmly plugged into the intake.

 

^+1 or it may need to be cleaned

 

Did you take over to Auto Zone and have them clear the code or check it. There has to be some reason why its throwing a light.

+1 on the MAF going bad or need cleaning. On my old car my intake destroyed my MAF 5-6 times.

 

1zz are notorious for getting check engine lights with aftermarket intakes. Most of the time, if you oiled teh filter, it will get in the maf. Get some NON CLORINATED throttle body cleaner and clean out the maf. Reinstall and reset the ecu.

 

i had the same problemw ith my celi when i installed my aem intake, check to make sure the maf is facing the right way. disconnect the power and reconnect and see if the light comes back on.

 

Once fixed....I hear 12 starts clears the code...anyone else hear that? I wouldnt pay to have it reset....
my two cents.


There is always a smiley face sticker that you can put over the light....lol.

Seriously...

I agree with the mass air cleaner/cause theory also.

 

nah thats just a bunch of made up crap, the 1zz and 2zz are notorious for throwing cells with those after market intakes. the cell doesnt do anything unless the filter had too much oil in it in that case it might cause a couple of backfires.

 

cleaned the maf,reset the code, the car runs great

 

intakes will blow ur car up, they're baaaaad

 

Autozone does it for free
