I have to go take my car in for Emissions...when i put my Cold Air Intake in, my SES light came on, i tried to clear the codes, and it worked, but a few miles later it would come back on again...and i was told that i would not pass emissions...does anyone know what i could do or if i did something wrong?...all the connections are tight nothing loose...i was told maybe it was upside down, i havent tried to do anything about it yet, i wanna get more ideas on what i could be first

Take it to Autozone and have them tell you what the code is. |

Need to be more specific. The MAF is on the intake... there are a few connections to it and then you got the sensors on the TB that go bad...
How is the car running? |

I posted this question on my other mustang forum site...and this is the response i got....
"For emissions testing, take the intake off, put the original back on and disconnect your battery for about 15 minutes to clear the code.
After that, I dunno. Might be possible that your new intake allows more airflow than the ECM can accomodate and you might be running too lean.
That would require enriching the air/fuel mixture (i.e. a tune)"
but all i was told was that the code came from my intake, cuz i have a after market one on there |

I have never heard of a cold air intake causing problems unless there is a problem with the MAF or the temp sensor. You probably have a problem with one of those items.

I think you just forgot to plug something up or tighten something down. We all do it. |

I've never heard of a CAI blowing a code... what if you disconnected the battery for 15 minutes with the CAI on? Maybe that'd help reset the computer and clear the code?

check for air leaks and make sure everything is hooked up, ive never seen a problem with one if installed right.

on some there is a hole that is on the back side, it may or may not be used, make sure you dont have a hole just sitting there open letting air in.

There is no CAI on earth that's gonna allow more air flow than the MAF can handle. |
