hi evryone this is my first day here i was looking in the internet and i saw this website that looks like fun well i came to this web to ask u guys 1 thing i been having problem with my rx8 i installed a air intake 2 days ago and the check engine light came out and i went to auto zone and auto parts they checked it with the computer and they told me the car was too rich( something about gasoline) so im not sure if leave it there or take it out i dont know if this happen to people that install an air intake before

 

if the car is too rich seems like the intake may be restricting air. what intake did you put on?

 

Did you do MSP16 flash?

If yes,
maybe dirty MAF?
Or same as my problem, oil leaked into air cleaning chamber and flooded the stock air filter. Leaking was causted by careless tech that replace my oil and over filled it.

 

nop i havent get a good answer yet -________________-

 

Could be the MAF.
Take it out and clean it (remember its the two wires inside the MAF housing, NOT the brown teardrop).
Then reset your PCM. Here is a link on how to do this:

Also, please mention what brand intake you installed.

 

You'll get better answers if you provide some more information. What year is your car, and what is the brand and model of the aftermarket intake you installed? What is the exact code for the CEL you're getting (not "something about gasoline")?

My first thought would be that your intake is causing turbulence which in turn makes the MAF get bad air flow readings.

 

yea, if it happened because of your intake it's probably the intake. unless you hampered with the maf somehow. you may want to check that too. need more info.

 

i installed the stock air filter and the check engine light went off and it been good al day but i order Weapon R Short Ram Intakes - Dragon and i hope it work cuz is made for the rx8 the other air intake was a custumed made the one that sell in auto parts and auto zone cost me like around 90 buck but i think i lost that money, i hope it wont happen with the new intake ^^ thanks u for ur answer guys i will be checking for more answers ^^

 

yawn.

beers

 

So what kind of crappy intake did you buy? If it's not an AEM, Mazdaspeed, Racing Beat or K&N forget it.
