Sounds like a wise move and hope for the best for you on this issue.

OP- check the install, maf could be dirty, filter may be soaked with too much oil. I can tell you what to do, just can't do it for you.
Quote:
15-THOUSAND miles on it. He cleaned it and started throwing codes. Is that a manufacturer's fault? Don't blame the product. He may have the pcv line split or cracked. You haven't looked at it. I was actually trying to help the OP with his situation rather than throw BS out there. I am happy with mine and have no codes. Now, on to the airaid. See how you defend your product knowing they had problems originally? Now if you hadn't made a BS statement followed by your claim that the airaid was so great I probably wouldn't have brought up the greatness of version 1. They rushed a product into the consumer's hands and more than a few made claims it was flawed. Have they come back with a nice product, of course. Did they get forced into it, they kind of did. I'm sure they did their own testing before admitting they had an issue. Could it be made even better, according to the JRE testing it was most affected by heat soak and would benefit by increasing the airflow to it. Some on here have taken a holesaw to theirs to swiss-cheese it with results they're happy with. With the amount of money one pays for these, taking a holesaw to it just seems wrong but if I had one I'd probably do it to keep it cool. Are we looking for a version 3? Probably not. It was within a few horsepower and torque of the other ones and knowing you could probably squeak a few more ponies out with the mod may put it on top. In fact, they were all pretty close and with that mod it may have the best gains.

I never called any names on brands, somone else did if you go back and look at the posts. I only made comment that Airaid never threw codes and that I wasn't calling any names. I think the original poster said something like Airaid or K&N but he wasn't sure and I for one would not have even said that much if I didn't know for sure. That's like telling someone something that I'm not even remotely sure on and then having them base their decision on what I said. I've learned in 30yrs of court testimony, if you don't know the answer to a question that is asked, be smart enough and professionally enough to say "I DON'T KNOW".
Airaid is not my product so its not mine to defend. Do I have one, yes I do. Do I like it? Yes I do. If another like Vararam comes through with their product and it proves to be better than what we all have chosen, I may make a change. JRE did the test and all were within a few HP of each other and Airaid was 2nd to InJen I believe but I've slept since then. I personally don't care for Injen install and replacing the fluid bottle and wheel well removal or whatever. My thing is, I'm not here to argue over anything that's not putting money in my pocket, making my monthly note on anything I own or trying to buy and I'm not got to go back and forth. Like I said, the man was talking codes, someone said Airaid and maybe K&N caused them and I was saying not so on Airaid. I consider the case closed and hope dude gets his issues resolved. Peace and someone can hit the light switch on their way out cause I'm gone.

Good luck, both with the CEL and if it becomes an issue you can then have it documented with K&N.

Wow this got a little heated. I was just simply forwarding along the dangers of using the MAF cleaner, and you're right if you're careful using it you should be fine. But of course GM doesn't recommend using it. If there was oil that got on the MAF, then you may have to replace it ultimately...and if that ends up being the case, then you would need verfication that it was oil build up caused by the intake. If you receive said verficiation via professional or even detailed and documented personal evalutation, then you're well within your rights to request K&N refund the cost of any repair...That's a lot of ifs, I was just trying to give the guy options in case that happened to be the case is all.

Like said before clean your MAF with the cleaner. Most likely it got it dirty by way of the intake. The MAF cleaner won't damage anything as I use to use it weekly when I had my oil seal on my turbos blown. Still working great now.
