I put a custom cold air intake on my 07 LT. I ran it about a .5 mile and the traction control disabled light came on and it blinked up service traction control. I continued out the road about another mile and my car went into "Power Reduction Mode." I put the stock intake back on and it all goes away. Any suggestions?

Buy an Injen....they don't have that problem!

your maf backwards?

X2, for the last 5 years it is very well known these cars are touchy, Injen and K&N are the only ones that dont cause this. It is more than just a "tube and a filter"

I'm really thinking about it. And no its not, I made 100% sure of that before i installed.

I bought a tuned MAF adapter piece so that the sensor picked up the correct air flow across it.

Injen is the most popluar, we always have them in stock.

jrob7106

I just saw that. I may have to snag one from you here shortly.

I am sure it will look better and perform perfect for you

Hmm, disconnect the battery during the install?

And buying an intake is a simple solution, i'd recommend the KN or Injen stay far far away from the Weapon R (made the mistake, it works but the fitment sucks a big one)

And TTR is a good company only heard good things about them

jrob7106

I tried that too. But listen to this. I tried bypassing the intake silencers using the same setup but with the stock filter housing. Works fine, and runs great. Ill put a pic up later.

You don't need a higher flow MAF. Try the stock MAF and check all of your connections for a leak.

This shouldn't be happening. even the EBay intake didn't do this.

TTR is the way to go

The only difference between this and the intake i did was where the stock filter housing is i had the MAF adapter and a cone filter.

Your maf might be to close to your cone filter, most maf locations are at least a few (3-4) inches from the filter on a straight section, for an accurate reading.

This is true, this does help.

Tube the maf is in needs to be the same inner diameter as it is stock. If you go bigger you need a tune.

AEM's dryflow works perfect too.

check you CEL codes...

The inner diameter and distance were both good. But i was using and oiled filter from Spectre. Also the MAF adapter was a Spectre 9405

try cleaning your MAF

jrob7106

I tried 2 different ones in it. and still no luck. but i runs good with what ive got on it. so until i can get an injen or something ill just hang out with what i got.

this is pretty much what is happeneing with mine (except mine is having trouble statring after every fill up) but i have a ingen cai maybe i should check for leaks...maybe the maf sensor too, i thought there was only one way to put it in.lol

mine just started saying service traction control. maybe my probles are a combination of things. and if his problem is like mine its not coding

Yours is not from the intake, check your evap system, bet its involved in that. I'd put my money on evap solinoid mine is shot but it threw a code and start up after filling up requires me to feather the throttle like its a carb'd engine that's cold.

And yes there is a correct way to put the maf in, and a wrong way.

OP I'd clean your maf and double check the orientation. Does your maf adapter change the intake tube size?
