i've been reading and searching and i couldnt find anything maybe i looked over it,.. anyhow installed a cosmo air intake for a 02 z24 ecotec, since installed the new intake the car been drinking gas like a new born baby on moms tits,. my question is, is this the result when you change the intake, warm weather we're having or did i fudge up the sensor, any help would be great,.. shoulld i wait a week or so the computer to adjust,.

with stock i get 625 KM or so, am not sure what am getting now but its much less every time i puch the gas in i can see the guage drop,.. i thinnk am getting 500KM now

thanks

Did you reinstall the sensor in the intake?

If you did,
Is it in far enough that is reading the air flow?

If so,
Is there and dust partcle or is it damaged?

Are you getting the check engine light?

Stop flooring it to listen to the engine roar You'll be surprised to find you get the same mileage as before

i did reinstall the sensor, the car is quieter than before, before when am driving hard i would take it up to 5500 in every gear ( not 5th gear, you alll know why) and still get good gas milage, am thinking the sensor is not in far enough or dirty maybe damage,.. the check engine light is on the about two months now and i was still getting 625km to the tank,..

thanks for the reply, keep sending them,..


thanks

quieter then before you say? if it's the cosmo short ram, then it should be noticeably louder... i'd say your sensor may be damaged and the car is running rich...

Did you actually push the connector all the way into the IAT sensor? So that it clicked? If not, it might not be connected.

There should be no check engine light.

agreed.

the sensor is in all the way, the check engine light been on for about two months or so, i was getting good mile so why pay for someone to tell me i need to change one of the sensors, guess i might have to do that now,..

anyhow is there a right way to position the sensor other than all the way in, what i mean is should it be turn so it sense the air folw better,.. or once its in thats it??


thanks

should i even bother with getting better plugs and wire if yes what should get??

thanks

how about getting the CEL Scanned and go from there? It does come on for a reason...

Just by curiousity ... does it shift alot harder than normal? If so, that IAT being loose or not present brings the computer into a "freeze" mode. It will basically @!#$ everything up. Including your gas mileage.

dan

i pulled the sensor looked at it and put it back ini have half tank of 91 oct and 87oct, the 91oct is because 87 was a long line up and i was on empty,.. anyhow i think its running bettter but i have to wait till i get close to empty,..

what do you guys think about AEM dry flow filter?
i know i should get the car scan ASAP..

thanks

after driving the car to windsor and back, am getting 670km 95% highway to the tank but its still quiet unless rev in the high rpm,.


thanks
