HELP! Fuel malfunction code after CAI install
Ok so I know this should be in the exhaust section BUT I know that there are usually more people looking through here, so my dilemma is this......I got my Volant CAI and put it on the car. It was a simple install, and looks great, but less than 5 min after installing it and on the road, my computer set off a fuel malfunction code . Then, another light popped up on my dash, and my tire pressure monitor system cleared, and the car asked me if I wanted the car to re-learn ????? Huh ????? So, I assume the fuel malfunction is because of the CAI, but the other code setting off is throwing me off here. The obvious thing is to take the car to the dealership, but before I do that, any suggestions or has this happened to anyone else ???

It would help if you could tell us which codes it's giving you.

You mean like the actual number codes ??? I don't have those I just know that the malfunction icon came up (then engine block symbol ) and the exclamation point icon for service tire pressure monitor....

Make sure your masairflow sensor is in the correct direction (it might only install in one direction only I do not remember). Verify all connections to make sure they are tight especially the breather line. Also unplug the battery for a few minutes and then retry it. Post pictures of the install and I can give it a dummy check!!
Also, what other upgrades are on your on Camaro? If it is cold, check your tire pressure, it could be just low. With it as cold as it is, you might be throwing lean codes.

I would pull the battery cables off to reset all and see what happens.
To reset the tire pressure, just hold the press button the left steering wheel arm (same that you scroll through odomoeter, etc.). This has happened a few times to others and you may get away with resetting fuses 5 and 20 in the fuse box (Elect Control Module), but a batt cable pull will definitely reset all. I would surely try this before going to the dealer.

I just edited my post - it is fuses 5 and 20, not 5 and 25.

Only other thing I have on there is straight pipes running back to single chamber race mufflers. Thats it. I just had a tire plugged bc of a freaking rivet that I picked up along the way But its holding, so I dunno. The pressure is 35 all around.

Ok, on the mass airflow sensor, did you remove the little thin rectangle gasket at the base of it (where it seals against the stock intake pipe) and use the rubber seal supplied in the box. It is small and I missed it the first time I installed mine which made it install funny.

If you goto your local autoparts store, call first. A lot of them will read the codes on your car for free.
