Check engine light

I installed a CAI a week ago and the CEL just came on, i don't understand what it could be. I have a 2009 TC

Which intake was it?

My cel has thrown for MAF/VAF half the summer. Kept clearing it. I cleaned my maf sensor too. It comes on time to time for me still but not very often and will go off after a day or 2. Just check it at an advanced or anywhere with a scanner and see what it says.

Make sure all of your hose connections are tight and have no leaks.

The cleaner I used for my MAF is MAF Cleaner, I bought it at Advanced so one near you should have it. I forgot the brand I'll check later today.

Ok cool, i bought the raceland CAI.

I'm going to try and reset it today.

I have a guy bringing a scanner on saturday to check it out.

[Kid Morbid]

I've got the same one. Really there isn't any difference in brands for intakes. But it does seem odd it's happening to both of us. I may try just putting a new filter on it this year and seeing if that helps.

I've never had a CEL with my Injen. Also 3" piping FTW.

[TcMcgee]

mine keeps coming on for the gas cap and i tighten it the 3 clicks i think the seel might be bad in it idk

[Kid Morbid]

Bad sensor?

[StreetSweeper]

Its cause of the pipe size. Big proplems with alot of intakes out there had a aem before my turbo n no issues

[DeadCannon]

What size is the Raceland? I know my Injen is 3" with a 2.5" chokedown for the MAF.

[rchapp87]

It's 3'' all the way I believe...

[rchapp87]

This is the code that I got:
P0441 Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow

Anyone have a clue about what that is?

Doesn't look like it's your intake afterall. Hopefully not worse tho.

[rchapp87]

I am thinking it has something to do with that other piece that mounts onto the CAI, kind of behind the MAF sensor..

[rchapp87]

I reset the code and it was back on in a day.

Weird thing is, is that when i start my car the first few seconds it's running the maintenance required light blinks.

[Chewy]

the blinking of the maint reqd light means its getting near the time for an oil change

[DeadCannon]

Yeah, it's just a counter. Nothing major.

[TcMcgee]

if the code p0441 is on it should have had another code come on with it and that would be a loose gas cap or a bad seal in the cap thats what my code was and got a new gas cap and hasnt came on again.

[DeadCannon]

I don't think it's the gas cap since he's not the only one to have trouble with the RL CAI.

[rchapp87]

My gas cap is fine and I always make sure it clicks three times when I put it back on..
