Air filters

[steve05]

Hi Gang, I decided to install a set of K&N filters ant the check engine light came on. Check with On Star they diagnosed as air intake problems... any body have similar issues or do i need to have the car set up for the additional air flow?

Most likely a dirty MAF sensor. May have sucked some of the filter oil through the intake tube and attached itself to the sensor. Try cleaning it and replacing it. You'll have to go through a few starts before the check engine light resets itself, providing it doesn't throw the same code again.

I had the same problem when I installed those air-filters.
The oil from the filters kept making the check engine light come on. Got tired of that, so went back to regular paper filters.
You'll need to buy mass air flow cleaner (can purchase at PepBoys for $4).
