Cai Issues

Hey guys, I just installed a vorlant CAI on my 2.7l and its giving me some issues. I had disconnected the battery then reconnected, to reset a code, (worked wonderfully for a bit). This morning i decided to go for a drive and i am having some issues even hitting 40 mph. the only thing that was left off the install was the sensor that has a small vacuum line attached to the muffler or whatever it is that sits on top the engine. Any thoughts?

 

This is likely the problem. There needs to be a vacuum line running from the Secondary air injection pump valves to the MAP sensor. If this is removed, your truck will likely go into limp mode

 

Can you post some pics please? Also it'd be a good idea to clean the MAF if you're using an oiled filter

 

i agree. any way to fix this?

 

I got the map sensor plugged up. I totally overlooked this. Guess I just reset acu and I'm good to go?

 

Yes i'd just unplug the battery or reset the codes if you have a code reader. Should be good to go hopefully!

 

Thanks for helping get her race ready for sunday! Trails will be fun.

 

Glad it was an easy fix! Good looking truck btw, love those KC lights in the bed, i've been wanting to do something similar myself

 

Thanks! I'm not running a tailgate either gotta have that prerunner look. I had an nfab light bar on the front but the whole thing sheered off at a race.

 

Im with you on the prerunner look, im gonna convert mine to 4wd but i am still gonna have it look like a 2wd. Just threw some lights on the bumper the other day actually. Sounds like you might be a good candidate for a front bumper

 

Yeaaa I need one.

 

Thats the exact front end setup i want too

 

Mine is loud as hell now too, i drove through the university and it set off a car alarm lol

 

I'd avoid Dezert Toy Fab, but a tube bumper is definitely the way to go

Are you running the stock midpipe with cats? I just went through this same thing, i ended up adding 3 borla mufflers to mine to quiet it down some.

 

Gutted Cats, stock pipe, tiny magnaflow muffler and i have doug thorley headers coming in too. Gutting the cats called for a very costly tune from AEM too

 

Gotcha, yeah the gutted cats and small muffler are what's making it so loud. Im running the same setup but a URD midpipe and LCE header. Are you out in CA? why not go with the LCE header?

 

Im not in cali im in louisiana so no restrictions. I've never checked out LCE vs doug thorley.

 

You might want to take a look. LCE has equal length runners, so it will make a little more power/tq than the Tri-Y

 

oooooooo is that urd mass airflow calibrator worth it btw?

 

I have run one, and i didn't notice any difference. Save your 250 bucks imo
