Default Installed CAI finally, slight problem...

Ok, I finally was able to install my Wizaired. Man does it sound nice with the supercharger! After a day or two of driving it though, the engine light came on, then it kept stalling on me. I believe it's the sensor that connects to the throttle body causing this. Where do are you supposed to connect it once the Wizaired is installed? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Blazed SS, thanks so much for this. I read this before, but I guess I missed the IAT sensor part about going into the air box. Awesome!

Absolutely, thanks NASCAR 43! Excellent write up.
I just got done putting the sensor in the box where it's supposed to go. I haven't taken it out to test drive it yet though. Engine light is still on but there must be a way to reset somehow?

..You're welcome..... You may want to back track a bit on the install....disconnect the battery as Amy suggested and go from there.
Enjoy the Whiiiiiiiiiiine...............

I am still having a little trouble. I disconected the battery for a few hours, then put the sensor where it's supposed to go and I can't seem to get my car started. It cranks but doesn't start up. I know the battery is good. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I tried connecting the old IAT sensor up to see if it would work, no luck. Maybe it is another problem all together using the newly installed CAI as a scapegoat. I might have to take it in to the shop if I can't get it working.

We'll get you through this- no worries!

Step one of troubleshooting- unplug your MAF sensor harness. If you don't know which one is your MAF sensor, it's the sensor that sits right on top of your throttle body. Here is a picture showing it:


Unplug the electrical connection harness to your MAF sensor and try to start the car. Let us know what happens and we'll take it from there.
