cel came on after intake install

you should be fine if its nothing major, but if its coming on again right away something must be jacke dup.
 
I hope it's nothing major. I don't know what could of happened. The only thing i can think of is one of the small hoses that goes to the blow off line is kinked but i've seen another msp with the same intake and it looks the same
 
i still think something is not on right. just out of curiousity maybe try to flip the MAF around and reconnect everything. reset and see what happens. possibly if you say the connections are all good, and everything is plugged in, maybe its backwards. long shot, but you never know.
 
the maf sensor matches the diagram i have. but the only think i can think of is that something is messed up with the blow off line. maybe that's on backwards. I'll have to recheck it in the morning
 


from the diagram i have the blow off line appears to be on the wrong way. The arrow on it is facing towards the front of the car with the vacuum line on the side towards the front of the car. But i've checked another msp and his is the same way and doesn't have the cel. Do you think i should turn it around or is it the right because of the arrow? Anybody think of anything i can try? please help
 
I switched the blow off line around the other way. It definately fits better that way. The light still came on. But it might still be on cause i drove it a little yesterday with it on the wrong way. So hopefully it will go off today. If not i made an appointment with mazda tomorrow morning. The mechanic said that it's prolly a vacum leak somewhere and is pretty common. I won't be able to check the internet until around 10 pm tonight indiana time. Will keep you posted.
 
I talked to mazda today and an intake does not void your warranty and it shouldn't be a problem to check it out and see what was wrong. It probally just needs to be reset but who knows.
 
the mechanic fixed my cel. There was some kine of tempterature sensor down by the turbo that came unhooked. It wasn't anything that i unhooked intentially it must of come unhooked with the removal of the stock intake. But just so everyone knows a injen cai is A-OK by the mechanics at Mazda from what he told me! Thanks for the ideas on how to try to get it fixed.

disconnect neg bat term. pump brakes for 10-15 sec. if you "reset" teh battery and the light came on immediately either its your MAF or you didnt actually reset.

Wow! You are like a genius! (fuoops)
