Maybe the MAF sensor went back in the wrong direction, if all you did was CAI doesn't make sense

You always have to have your tune updated for mods - incl virtually all CAI's - like Glenn & Jazzman said. They let in more air, which makes your A/F ratio run lean. Hence the "lean" code.

Running lean on these modern engines = piston failure :explode:

I have a tuner and I have a tune put in my car which tune should I need

Glenn 2/11/15 04:58 PM

where is your tune from? Was it one that was installed in your tuner when you bought it?
If so I would call Steeda or one of the other tuners out there and get a tune that matches your intake. Don't drive your car to much while its throwing that code. Put your stock intake back on and reinstall your stock tune

yea I was just running up my post count :nice:

tj@steeda 2/11/15 05:43 PM

Yes ... if you are running the Steeda CAI ... you will definitely need a tune or a revision.

If you didn't purchase from us ... we can write you a tune for $99.00 or enroll you in our tunes for life for $150.00.

Let me know ... you can send me an email to tim@steeda.com & we can get you squared away with a tune!

Best Regards,

TJ

I run an SCT tuner from bama with bama tunes

Glenn 2/12/15 09:17 AM

I guess I would call them and have them go over the tune file with you. They may have clicked on something they shouldn't have. I had one of their tunes throwing a to rich code recently and they wanted me to data log. I didn't think I should have to do that. So I called them and insisted we go over the file. They found a problem with the tune and sent me a revised tune which seems to be alright now. They even said but sir that is the same tune we send out to many customers. Sad part is I went and had a diagnostic test done for 90 bucks thinking there was something wrong with my car. 90 bucks is a nice chunk of beer money.

silverstang417 2/12/15 10:17 AM

My maxhanic never charges me to do a diagnostic test on my car but I've had this tune in for almost 7 months noe

silverstang417 2/12/15 10:19 AM

I order all my tunes from american muscle

Glenn 2/12/15 01:59 PM

swap o2 sensors to the opp side and see if the code returns as mentioned already I think. If it does then you know its most likely the sensor. If you get the same code that is.

silverstang417 2/12/15 02:03 PM

Funny story my wife was driving it to the for dealership and the check engine light went off when she hit a bump

Glenn 2/12/15 05:28 PM

well don't hit any more bumps

Jazzman442 2/12/15 06:06 PM

Glenn 2/12/15 06:25 PM

The suggestion to go back to stock was to see if the code went away. But hells yea no more bumps is where its at
