Shouldnt of gotten a SES light. When you get home take everything apart again and put back together make sure everything is sealed up nicely and make sure the MAF sensor is plugged all the way in too.

I checked the MAF plug this morning at work and it seemed plugged in tight. I will check everything again, but I have taken off and put on my airbox so many times I can't believe anything would be loose. I just hope something isn't really wrong. I don't need that right before the Holidays.

I am going to try and clear the SES light when I get home tonight and see if it comes back on.

Got home tonight and read the codes. Engine has a 2A99 code which states "crank shaft - exhaust camshaft, correlation" I have no clue what the hell that means. I cleared the SES light and started the car back and the light did not come back on. If it does it will probably be going into the shop.
I hope I didn't fubar something deleting the carbon filter.

First code is a shadow fault, second one trips the SES light. |

Which means I will be taking it to the shop? I read this code may pop up with dirty VANOS solenoids.

Btw, I'm not sure if you're aware but cleaning the solenoids is just blowing shop air threw them. |

By the way the code I was getting was the 2A99 code. It was the only code showing up.

I did the charcoal filter delete + K&N mod during my lunch brake today at work. It took 30 Mins start to finish and was a fun way to get me through the work day. I work at a ski/bike shop so we have all sorts of air tools for sanding which made the clean up easy. I notice a little more punch in the throttle and a nice new sound from the engine with the windows down. Nothing crazy but for the $60 i spent and the fun of doing it it was 100% worth it to me!!

US N52 has two flat panel filters. One is a removable paper filter, one is a charcoal filter, bonded to the airbox.
Some (including myself) have cut out the charcoal filter, thinking it provides improved airflow. There is a DIY on the forum detailing the process. |
