AEM intake issue
my car bogs down or acts funny at high rpm
i just had the coils changed and the cat is not clogged so i am thinking its the AEM cold air intake do you think switching to racing beat intake would help????? |
no, just get the aem installed correctly. ive been running mine for a year and a half, no issues except when i had a vac leak
|
dont think its the coils because my car is running allot better with them
|
He's had the intake for awhile, so I'm pretty sure its installed fine. Mike, if you still have the old intake, try installing that to see if there are any differences.
|
well, if the intake has been in the car awhile, then its most likely not the intake at all
|
Don't forget the ECU has to reset after you make changes like new coils.
|
i installed the intake myself
i have had it for awhile i just dont think it could be anything else i dont have my stock intake the car just doesnt run well when i hit high rpm it sound like the intake is the issue thats all |
it could be any number of things, how you deduced that it's the AEM intake, which is the same as the Mazdaspeed intake, is beyond me :dunno:
|
the reason i say its the intake is because i just had the car at mazda and they did a full inspection and replaced the coils
the car is in top condition i dont know what else it could be |
do you have the DryFlow filter?
|
no
why |
mike,
sounds like you dont know much about mech stuff.. find someone local. lots in you area.. to help you... i know that is harsh, but it is honest. beers :beer: |
Where in the rpms are you having the problem? 5-6-7-8
|
did you try taking the filter off and making sure it is clean? if you have had it on for awhile it may be coated in crap.
|
swoope,
i dont know alot and im paying thru the noise to fix this thing so far i have changed coils, spark plugs, transmission flush, oil change, new gas cap and still the car bogs down and runs like crap at 5 to 6k rpm is it a clogged cat is it the aem intake shit i dont know |
did you try cleaning the MAF. if not, the oil from the aem filter may be on it and causting the car not to run right
|
If my car was acting up I'd
Check the airfilter for to much crap Check if all the intake runners are opening Check the maf for dirt/oil/crap If that didnt do it, I'd unbolt the cat and take it for a spin. If that still wasnt enough I'd try to check the fuel filter/pump. If none of that did it I'd start looking for a good shop or start reading up alot. |

or a clogged filter since it's going off at upper rpms. Cleaning their latest filter, which is the DryFlow, is easy. The older style filter I know nothing about. I think it was oil based like a K&N.
A new DryFlow filter will run you about $70 from Summit Racing, Jegs, etc. if you want to upgrade it; 3.5" inlet x 9" long only other thing I can think of is the internal intake runner flappers aren't opening up :dunno: |

the car did have a CEL but then the dealer changed the coils and its gone now i am putting the stock intake on tomorrow to see if that is the issue i called the dealer and they said the cat was not clogged but i dont know if they really checked when they serviced my car |

beers :beer: I believe only if it sticks open, if it doesn't open then no power and no CEL :dunno: |
you can manually command any port to open. the VDI, APV, and SSV all can be opened and closed manually thru a computer, like say, the computers they use at mazda dealers. but, if u walk in and ask to have the intake ports checked thatd prolly be the first time they were evr asked that.

I put the stock intake on and the car runs better
but its still bogs down around 6pm |
