HI All,

I purchased and have fitted a Revi Intake to my RX8(and love it), except 4 days later I have had the yellow engine light come up. It does not overheat or lose power or anything noticeable, other than this light stays on. And it does not go into limp mode either.

Any1 have any ideas?? as to what the problem is or is this normal effect of addind a new intake??. I have had the dealer reset the ECU once and it came on 2 days later.

Appreciate your assistance on this issue, as I don't want do any damage of course.

Cheers,

Did you plug your MAF back in? Did you install the little red cap on the vacum line for the Vfad?

 

Also double check that the little red cap didn't fall off. Someone else started a thread about that happening.

 

Try cleaning your maf if there is too much oil on the filter it can get the maf dirty and cause a cel.

 

also make sure your maf is tightened all the way, I had a similar prob w/ my intake. After I tightened it a bit the light went off.

 

thanks Guys, I will make sure I get these get checked out. Bcoz I didn't install it, not very good when it comes to that.......anyway. I will print out all your suggestions and get them checked out, and if any1 has any other suggestions please keep em coming just incase its not one already mentioned.

if you didnt install it, then most likely the installer missed something.

I dont have Revi but its just very common.

Why didnt you install it yourself? it takes maybe 2 hours for newbies. I install my K&N intake myself, first time took me longer because I was totally new back then. an hour or 2 maybe? second time just took me 30 minutes (took version 1 out and put version 2 in)

 

Hi All,

Got it checked out late today, and found that like the first time the ecu said the engine was running lean. Except this time hopefully found the problem, there was a vacuum leak. So after looking after that problem, the ecu was then reset and the yellow engine light has disappeared. Im pretty sure that was the problem as we checked everything else out and its going better now that its installed properly.

Thankz All.

didnt you get the code from the dealer when they cleared the light?
