V6 Airbox fitted, engine light is on. Help?

[carrmrc96]

Fitted a V6 airbox earlier with ITG filter. used original elbow, no caf fitted yet until I get my samco elbow. When I start the car up the engine management light stays on, anyone know why its coming up?

 

[carrmrc96]

The original caf with accoustic valve is still attached. but doubt this would make a difference.

someone is bound to know the answer to this

Is the Vac pipe securely on? As in you didnt knock it when putting the airbox in

 

[carrmrc96]

Which vac pipe? only only i noticed is the oil breathing pipe that connects into the elbow.

The vacumm pipe that connects to the acoustic vavle? There is nothing on the airbox assembly that you could remove that would bring a warning light on. Chances are you've knocked something during fitting it as its such a tight fit. Haven't has any troubles with mine

if the pipe to the acoustic valves was off you would have an idle of 1500-2k

my idle is fine, idles at about 1000 rpm. I removed the airbox and everything seems fine. Looks like i'll have to buy a code reader and see what the fault is.

 

[carrmrc96]

it turned it self off after about 60 miles of driving today, bit strange. oh well all sorted now

maybe just a change in the air flow

just needed to get used to it
