So here it goes....
About a 6k miles ago I put a Cobb SRI on my stock MS6. No issues... I picked up an ATP 3" inlet installed and ran it with the SRI minus Cobb's hose obviously... No issues other than the exhuast began to "pop" between shifts and decelleration pretty often but not all the time. I figured this was normal as the car could get all the air and fuel in it wanted but couldnt burn it all so I knew I was running rich.
Well The weather here in Chicagoland got suddenly warmer and I get a CEL. I also notice some hesitation in 2-3 WOT shifts. Then after cruising on my commute and begin to slow down as traffice builds to stop & go traffic, it tries to die on me but doesnt. So I decide to take off everything and check for leaks. Everything seems fine. I pulled the battery so the codes were cleared. Next day 2 miles from the house and CEL comes back... It almost dies after a stop at a light. But drives 99% fine the rest of the day.
I go to Autozone at lunch and I get the codes pulled. P2097,P2177,P2187 & P2195. Basically all hell has broken loose. I pull everything out again and notice the little thing hanging in the MAF is wet and has black soot on it on the filter side! So I say screw the Cobb SRI (I was getting sick of the whoosh shounds at low speed anyways) and put the stock air box back in but keep the ATP inlet. I cleaned the MAF reset codes (pulled batt) and took it for a ride. Everything seemed great drove for 20-30 min then parked for an hour or so then drove home... CEL back! No stuttering or trying to die yet, but hesitation at 2-3 & 3_4 WOT shifts.
Im going to have the codes pulled again tomorrow. Im hoping I just fouled the plugs or something and not the O2 sensor... Any similar issues with just a full intake and no other mods? I know I should have done some exhuast mods too to free up both sides. Maybe Ill gut my 2nd cat too.... I hope I dont have to go back to stock Im too busy for this crap.
