So i got my Maf adapter in the mail today. Of course the fasteners fell out during shipping but I got some from work. No big deal. I got everything slapped together and took it for a 'spirited' drive. The intake noise is impressive. Sounds meaner and the throttle response is much better. I ran into a small problem after the video(posted below). The check engine light came on. I haven't gotten around to scanning it but the one thing i didnt relocate was the Intake air temp sensor. I just left the resonator and sensor where they were. Does that sound like the problem? It came on right after a full throttle run.

Its neat hearing the Valves inside the intake opening around 5,000Rpm
Thanks!

When I removed my intake resonator, I just zap-strapped the air temp sensor to what ever was closest and everything has been fine.

I don't have a short ram though.

Try pulling a code and we'll go from there

Will do hopefully tomorrow. My gas cap has been falling apart for a few months now so it could just be another temporary evap code. Gotta order a new cap asap. I will update when I figure out what code it is.

reset the ECU and see if that solves it. the IAT sensor shouldn't be the problem. it could be, but i doubt it.

Thats what i figured. No matter what there should be some air travelling through the chamber. Ill try my best to pull the codes tomorrow. It is my Birthday but ill try my darn best!

Ok so I pulled the Code and its a P0138 02 Circuit High Voltage(Bank 1, Sensor 2). Doesn't sound related to the Intake at all...Just a fluke.
