Thats weird it shouldn't. Double check all the connections and make sure they're all tight. Also check where the sensor goes in and make sure its got the seal on it so its not bleeding any air in. Just an intake should not throw a CEL. Somethings gotta be put together wrong.

Saaaaame problem I had with mine! Mine turned out to be the MAF tables were out of wack and we had too damn many problems trying to install a new program, then his lap top crashed and my car got towed to the dealer to get put back stock.
Sorry you had problems man but its what made me give up on tuning mine too.
I'll just wait till HAHN comes out with their kit.

I hate how the 2.4L treats a lean code like the end of the world. If it's lean, we can fix it, but why do they have it shut off the ABS and TC too when it goes lean. Real safety issue there.

Damn Terry, you had it the 2nd roughest I have heard yet. That other kid who installed the injectors wrong and shot one out of the rail probably had it worse than you.

i really couldn't tell u that one. im not sure if the lean code im getting or rich code is from the loss of traction..i really doubt its not. there just has to be more tuning done i guess.

The reason it shuts off the traction control is cause the computer sees the lean condition as a drivability problem and when it sees one it shuts off the traction control and sometimes the abs so it doesn't have to worry about those systems interfering with the car still driving. Thats what the guys at GM told me anyway.

i currently just installed the 2.0 ss/sc injectors in my car with a old cavi harness for it to be plug and play. while driving my traction control light comes on and off...but now after chilling with some friend at a local meet i had the traction light control light come on with a CEL..any idea's guys. im gonna get it read tomorrow to find out wut the code is..but before i do..any ideas?
i know i put up another post but sometimes it better in 2.4 section.

LewiSS its his tune I'm tellin ya. I had the EXACT same problem when I had mine done, EXACT! Take away the tune and the CEL and traction control and ABS lights allllll go away! Thats why I got rid of mine, too uch BS to be bothered with.
It should be your maf tables like I said before. Just have them redone a tad leaner and see if it helps you any.

I have no doubt that messing with the stock tune can cause totally unexpected results. That sucker's one mass of spaghetti code, everything linked to everything else.

Oh, no, don't take me wrong! I was just KIDDING!
Damn internet - hard to tell joking from anger. I'd never go off on you, 'lope (maybe some noob, but not a REGULAR! )
No, I was originally wondering if someone else was having the intermittent sensor problem I am with the anti-lock (which also effects the traction control).
