K&N cold air intake

I installed a cold air intake on my 2013 Tacoma after install the intake my truck will not stay running no more than about 5 minutes I put the together as instructions was shown all the wiring has been put back together as well

 

Is it throwing any codes? Any lights come on when it dies?

 

put the original intake back on

 

Sell it. It won't do anything beneficial.

 

Put the OE unit back on and see if the issue goes away.

If not, you likely have a coincidental problem.

BTW, you won't find many recommendations for K&N anything around here, nor find a value/$ reward for CAIs.

 

Throw any codes? Plug everything back in correctly? id double check everything with a buddy if possibly you'd be surprised of the simplest things we skip over because we think we had it right

 

Completely agree k&N filter did not please me ordered up and AFe PRO DRY and no problems so far.

 

Plus most people on here will agree that the stock intake is an actual "cold air intake" because it gets air from near the bumper. All that k&n "cold air intake" does is place the filter in the hot engine bay and make a bit more noise not worth the money

 

Last time I put one of those intakes on a truck, I didnt look inside the plastic tube. They factory put a K&N sticker inside it. It got sucked into the throttle body when I stared the truck.... Sticker removed, problem solved.

 

I did an air temp A/B comparison of both K&N and factory intakes in my 2017. No discernable difference when moving, they are both luke warm. When idling, the K&N air is hotter, but that doesnt really matter....

 

Welcome to TW!

 

I took the cold air intake off and and put the stock intake back on and it started up and would run fine then I put these cold air intake back on and it's still not working

 

Do you got a Check Engine light on? And what do you mean by not working? Extended crank? Starts but stalls? Idles rough? Id love to help you but we need more context then it doesn't work

 

Check your air flow sensor. If thats not plugged in the truck will shut off.

 

Just stick with stock, I saw some thread where I guy put on some aftermarket air intake bullshit and it ended up letting particles through and ruining his engine.
