I got a K&N cone filer and a V-Force exaust... basically, if i gun it, it sorta gets bogged down, like sorta like its not gettin enough or too much gas. it doesnt back fire, just seems like its not running 100%

I know (or at least think) that my idle air controller is bad or going but will this effect it? or is it in the computer? Like a bama chip may fix it...

 

Not sure about the other stuff. But I do know a k&n filter that is not oiled properly will hamper the performance alot, just a thought

 

thats worth a shot.. ill try that tomarrow

 

Mine feels like that to...

To much air in and less out...

 

The iac (idle air control) will not affect performance. if you had a problem with the iac your truck would have problems idling. The iac is a valve that allows air to bypass the throttle plate while closed keeping the engine at a specific rpm, look elsewhere for your diagnosis. maybe MAF, is the MIL illuminated how many miles do you have on your truck....has it always done that with the intake and exaust mod?

 

my trucks got 40,500 miles. I checked the MAF and it was fine... Im gonna drive a friends truck with the same mods and see if it does the same

 

How did you check it?

 

i pulled it out and made sure it was clean

 

Is your MIL illuminated? Oh and describe the sound your exaust has im shopping around and want some opinions. I want something loud and throaty, some guys said a flowmaster 40 series but I was just wondering what the opinion was across the panel.

 

i went back to my stock airbox for rootin...

if u wanna new setup for cone filters, lemme know, i got one for ya...

hope u get u're stuff fixed

 

MIL? lol

I like the sound... its the lighting style (custom)... describe... umm idk

 

here ya go...

 

Clean the MAF sensor. I doubt you'd be able to just look at it. And notice if it was clean.

Is it bogging, or is it skipping, and missing on acceleration? If thats it, its your spark plugs.

I'd bet that its your MAF is dirty, clean it just to be sure, and get the IAC fixed, it does have to do with idling, but try taking it out, and cleaning the hole that becomes visible when you take it off.

 

Damn thats nifty exaust. when you clean your MAF use aerosol brake cleaner and be sure not to touch the receptor wire with your finger or you will ruin it.

 

is this the magical thing

 

daym too late

 

That looks like an IAC.

 

sweet... how should i clean it... i dont wanna **** it up



i normally dont have alot of Q's but im being carfull

 

With the Idle Air Control valve you just need to take some carb or throttle plate cleaner and an old tooth brush or similar device and scrub the black carbon off the air flow area. dont submerge it or anything, and you may as well clean the throttle body while you are this deep. na-mean......

 

ok....
