I installed my Forge CAI yesterday and drove it around a bit and noticed a hesitation and bogging down when I am in 5th gear, push the pedal at 4k @80mph ish. All the other gears are fine, just 5th

The MAF is on tight so I don't think that's the issue. I dont know if I should reset my computer by disconnecting the negative battery terminal or just give it time to learn that there is a new system.

Any ideas/suggestions? Of course with this stupid holiday, I cant call them until tomorrow.

 

No problems at all in other gears at 4k? I'd give it about 100 miles and see if it goes away.

 

Nope, none, just 5th. Its weird.

Yeah, I think you are right, give it time. I have about 60mi on it. Now that im driving back and forth to work I'll be able to check more because I'll be driving more

Thanks

 

Hopefully it works itself out. Other than this weird 5th gear problem, how do you like the intake?

 

I love it! Im sure it a butt dyno but there does seem to be a little faster throttle response. The extra engine noise is pretty awesome too.

I think my ECU just needed to relearn the new piece. I got about 100mi now and havent noticed any lag when Im in 5th

 

Glad to hear things settled down. Motor on!

 

You know it!

 

Recheck all your connections...vacuum ect

Is it an oiled filter? Maybe clean the MAF just in case

 

Yep, thanks. I rechecked the seal going into the MAF tube as well. Maybe it wasn't in enough, I'm not sure

Its good now though

 

reset all adaptations the ECU may have and put some miles on it. If you are still experiencing the hesitation then you are more than likely having issues with the maf not reading correct airflow due to turbulence the forge intake is causing.

 

It was actually the seal on the MAF. It wasnt in the intake pipe all the way so I think a little air was getting in. I have about 2k on it since and it drives and sounds like a dream!
