Sorry if this is hijacking, but I am going to be selling my Vibe shortly and I'd rather it went to a caring Vibe fan than just a run-of-the-mill driver. We're special. 2003 black GT, under 114,000km, Magnaflow exhaust and Injen CAI, Kenwood stereo and 8" subwoofer. Zero accidents, paint in good...

Quote, originally posted by kostby Â»Why?

I'm a switcher. There, I said it, and I mean it.Like many switchers these days, it all started when I bought a U2 iPod for my SO. Greg got his iPod for Christmas, and within a week I bought a 12" PB (1.33GHz, 512MB RAM soon to be 1.2+ GB) off eBay. My iPod was Greg's birthday present to me a fe...

Hey Merzbow,Thanks for the war stories. In prep for a Calgary meet tomorrow (actually, since it's 4am, tonight) I'm going to debadge in the afternoon. I think I'll wear gloves - the manicure, you know... Atomb, I agree with TRD4reel - it's all about clean and sleek.

I've been on the verge of ordering the rear taillight overlays but now I've seen the eyelids I'm starting to think I might want to add those too, they look great on both your cars. Sh@dow!, I love what you've done with the arrowhead on front. I don't want to hijack the thread, but if you could IM me...

Keely

So what I'm gathering from most of the above posts is that there are vacuum hoses (solenoids?) that connect or are in the vicinity of the CAI and the EVAP purge valve and something could have been disconnected or is connected and shouldn't be. It's pretty difficult for me to figure out since there s...

Keely

So if this is unrelated to my CAI, then it should be warranty work, right?I'll also include what my service invoice states in the relevant section:Quote Â»32732 [my ODO reading] SES light on scan test and check code P0441 evaporative emission system no flow during purge inspect and check code has af...

Hey everyone:Back at the end of June, DJDoubleLP, celicagirl and the rest of the clubvmx clan helped install an Injen CAI on '03 GT. I've consistently had CELs show up on the 3rd drive cycle ever since, although the car otherwise seems to run well (except that lowered mileage - I'm sure it's not me ...

Thanks Mavrik, that information is really helpful - now I know what I can expect when I take the car in.

Keely

Quote, originally posted by Mavrik Â»Thought you said like a month ago "Its going in next week" You probably gunned your engine as soon as it was installed, not allowing the MAF to learn. The Trix guys in my area with Injen CAI on their XRS models have been fine when they let the system le...

Keely

Quote, originally posted by goodvibe Â»You CAN clear a CEL by disconecting the battery or even easier, just pull the EFI fuses. If it comes back, it's because the problem that lit the CEL still exists. Keely, clean your MAF and follow Mavriks restart routine after pulling the fuses for a few minutes...

Quote, originally posted by trdvibe Â»in the case of an injen CAI, you should be fine. the only one i know of that is known to throw a CEL on a GT is the TRD intake. not really sure why, but it's a 50/50 chance. very very few people have had probs w/ the injens.Except me - I'm still with a CEL.

Yeah, how about mine now? No good news here. We reset the CEL on Saturday and Mike inspected everything, then cleaned the MAF with the aircan. No love - the light came back on yesterday like clockwork.I don't think SWiRv's solution is relevant to me because that smog unit is unique to the 2004 model...

Oh, that MAF!I just wanted to clarify that when I'm cleaning "nasties" off with an air can, I'm not taking any covers off or touching anything on or on the box itself. And for future cleanings, I assume this means that I won't be able to hose down my engine bay to clean it and everything w...

We had a bear of a time fitting the CAI in period. Between the headlight casing and the fact it was right up against the body of the car, the pipe didn't align well with the throttle body (hope I've got the right terms here) - it was at an angle. We rechecked the part number a few times just to be s...

Hey bigwonder, welcome. Last weekend the VMX.ca group did a three-car install of Injen CAIs on our cars, all slightly different - VC has an '03 5-spd base, I have an '03 GT, and SWiRv has an '04 GT.Unforunately, SWiRv's the only one that's had some problems so far.

Oooo... that sounds like a challenge. I've got $20 that says he'll have one installed before the next VMX.ca meet. Any takers?

Man, I think after hanging out on this site for as long as I have is rubbing off on me. I actually really like the look of that sport package on the satellite!
