There are many threads on this issue that i have searched, but none seem to give me a straight answer.

I swapped my stock air boxes with Air Boxes modded by bruce at ttm, I also took out the charcoal filter before putting the modded boxes on.

Now all i have on is the modded air box, and green filters.

Everything was fine until i slammed the gas pedal earlier today and floored the car, as soon as i did that, a CEL light came on, what to do now?

What's the code? If you do not know, then go to autozone and get a good OBD scanner to find out.

I'm taking my car to the dealership Tuesday to get it serviced so idk if I should wait till then and let them reset it.. What do you suggest

some cars need time to adapt.

you may need a tune.

dannish23

I was planning on doing a tune, but only after some pulleys being installed. Just paid fo school so a bit low on cash for now as far as a tune goes..

dannish23

For school*

If it was me, I would get a scanner from autozone and see what the code is. The scanner will also allow you to reset or clear the code.

Autozone will read codes for you for free. Start there and then look up the code, and im sure someone here will be able to help.

Thanks everyone for all the help

I told you that you need a tune! But find out what the code is..

dannish23

im taking it to the dealer tomorrow or tuesday for "ESP Malfunction" ill tell them to clear the codes, but will they pick up on the air boxes?

dannish23

also, a little off topic, but does anyone know what gains (if any) should i be expecting after installing the modified boxes on my car?

too much air flow requires more fuel + less restrictive exhaust .

Here is where the fun starts ! Tune to increase fuel and also remove a set of cats for more flow and u will be OK .

Clear the codes for now and dont to any WOT runs until u get the car back from dealer .

prior to modding my car when i removed the intake baffles and also the charcoals and added a K% N i only got the CEL went i did blasts past 120 MPH . Under normal driving it would shut off .

Check and make sure your MAF(?) sensors are lined up correctly. The hole on one of my Carbino air boxes is a tad off center and I'll get a CEL from time to time.

This happened to my car as well. I changed the filters to K&N and took out the charcoal filter about 50 miles later the cel light came on. Cleared the code it read p0175 which is a maf malfunction. The light came on again put it back to stock and the code cleared itself. Not sure what the problem is.

Good thing I haven't done my filters yet. I'll hold off until I tune her.

Get a tune and you'll be fine.. The car isnt use to all that air! But defiantly fix your ESP malfunction first before you get a tune.

dannish23

no money for a tune right now, ill try to get the dealers to clear the code, now im debating whether to put my charcoal filters back in or not

aghakauve

Its okay. I would go back to stock and then when you get some $$$ to get a tune throw the box back on. Remember when I told you when you start tuning these AMGs you really have to pay to play lol. I think the best bet is to go back to stock just to be on the safe side.

dannish23

codes are P0101 ANS P0327

Knock sensor is is your ESP problem..

dannish23

any replies on the gains (if any) ??

dannish23

aghakauve

No prob. Talk to Bruce @ TTM Im sure he will help you out or answer any further questions. I cant wait to get a fuel rail from him ..
