cold air feed to induction feed reducing power

[BigRed85]

Hello I've had an induction kit fitted to my 1.4 16v 100bhp for quite a while and after doing some reading up decided to fit a cold air feed to it. Work was done this afternoon and the car is running slow!!! No power at all under revs and engine management light has come on. Any help would be great.

Remove it again,

is the weather not cold enough just now and your Air / Fuel mixture quire good ?

 

You never used Silicone Sealer while making up the Cold Air feed did you?

[BigRed85]

Weather is 1-2 degrees atm and no silicone use mate I sealed the ram on to the from of the cone with gasket paper and an adhesive I have removed it

Sorry if that sounds dumb abit new to this

Reset the ECU, you've just leaned off the mixture, it needs to re-learn its dynamic fuel map. Make sure you only run it on Super plus unleaded as well.

 

Your sig says it's remapped it but it can't be, the ECU is non-programmable, you have to use a piggyback with these.

remove battery terminal for 10 mins to reset ecu then reconnect it and give it a pasting

Ok no probs yes used a piggy back system which I later removed as after reading up learnt that most are a resistor.

So simply resetting the ecu by disconnecting the battery for 10mins then reconnecting will solve the problem?

Right where to start........I will be selling my CAI  (& spark leads).......of my old Fabia.................based on a Green Cotton "twister" element...............ran it for 5yrs no problems as I built it right.............

I you need to disconnect the battery for 30 mins minimum not 10!
