K&N Cold air intake installed ????
ok well i tried, and if that dont get me like a free t-shirt or a friggin bumper sticker...well...well then...ugh....i didn't try hard enough!!!
Well I went to the dealer yesterday and they changed the oxygen sensor not the MAP sensor.They said that if that doesn`t work I will have to put the OEM intake back on and see if the traction control lights up after .I will contact K&N again and give them the codes that came up the last time,they assure me that it`s not an intake problem,if it is I will try to get my money back from them,if they sell a product that doesn`t work they should be able to deal with it right??Hey by the way THANKS TO ALL YOU GUYS FOR HELPING ME WITH THIS PROBLEM,I asked if any other people had the same problem AND NOT ONE ANSWER.I`m kinda feeling left out but I guess I`ll deal with it myself.
In my case, I dont remember ever getting the light after installing my intake. Only noticed it after getting my car back from the body shop following an accident where a car hit my right rear wheel. I have been told that a bad sensor can send an errant code that could trigger the light and MAP sensor. I have already replaced my MAP sensor with no success, so I want to get the wheel sensor checked. I have been trying to get my car into a dealer for weeks now, but with the holiday back up they are very crowded.
The Manifold Absolute Pressure should not be affected by a different airfilter.
I had similar problems with a Porsche that I had installed a K&n on. Turned out that my CEL was coming on due to too much oil on the filter and it got a mist on my MAF sensor and things got real loopy for a while. I saw an add for MAF sensor cleaner and ordered some just to try it to see if it would help. Not only did it fix the problem, the car ran better than ever. All the K&N filters I have used seem to have a very heavy coat of oil on them out of the box.

Have heard several stories about the K&N filter oil getting on sensors. One of my co-workers recently had to replace several sensors on his F-150 because he oiled his filter and installed it before it was time. I personally use the Airaide sytem and love it.
I found this info on MAF and oiled air filter replacement.

I know CRC makes MAF sensor cleaner? Any comment or advice on this?
Thanks

I just finished replacing the K&N filter that uses oil with an AEM that is dry, like the GMPP set up. I also removed and cleaned the MAF sensor. Still having the problem. I called the man that tuned my computer. He checked it out last year, trying everything he could think of. He removed the tune, tryed a different MAP sensor, etc. Nothing worked.
I just spoke with him and he suggested that my MAF may be damaged or defective and I should try a new one-not a modified one like the Jet, but a stock one. I have already tried changing the MAP sensor, since I also was getting that code, and I wasted alomst 80 bucks. If I knew for sure that the MAF was the problem, I would have no hesistation buying a new one. But I hate to spend more money if it does not solve this problem. (The new filter was almost 60 dollars)
