okay so i have a 94 camaro 3.4 the intake pipe kept coming off the the airbox... so i went too pep boys and bought some flex house to make my own cai... so i kept the stock 90 degree elbow that the iac plugs into and the vaccum line plugs into... i used the flex hose to go into the wheel well where like a k and n fipk goes... used a cone filter also.. now i am getting a check engine light that i didnt have.. i had the normal egr b.s. one... any ideas on why cause i figure its the same as the k&n one.. also i disconnected the battery to reset the comp to see if that would help and it didnt

Re: homemade cai gone wrong
Might just be the IAT sensor since you unpluged it or a wire is loose. I would double check the connections if the light is coming back on.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

Re: homemade cai gone wrong
Your flex hose sucks. Get rid of that crap. It could be impeding or redirecting the air somehow in a way to effect the MAF sensor. Or are there MAF screens on those cars? If removed reinstall asap. I dunno, it could be a number of things. But obviously it's probably your home grown kit since the problem arose when you installed it.. right?

Re: homemade cai gone wrong
if you dont want the stock intake elbow, check out the ebay intakes.
ive had one for a while now and as far as i can tell with the butt dyno, it was an improvement.
something like this:
