Staninator Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 just put a new short ram intake on my 07 civic si. check engine light came on and says map sensor is running rich. it seems like the ecu should adapt from what i have heard. any ideas? Check the wiring on the sensor and make sure it is on there correctly. That could be the only problem I can think of. I've heard of this happening before.

siRius Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 try unhooking your batt. for 5 min then hooking it back up should reset you ecu let your car run so the ecu can reset all the settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staninator Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 its i no name intake off ebay, i just ordered a k&n cold air intake so im hoping that this will fix the problem. That should definitely help it. If you put your stock air box back on and it doesn't do it then that means that it's the intake that is screwing up.

88prelude Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 you probably have to get an aftermarket map considering all new cars are full of computers and you cant do anything to them or they f*ck up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonball6789 Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 so u think an aftermarket map sensor would be good. where would i look for that? u know a place that sells crap like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamEj6 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 dont get an aftermarket map sensor. just get an AEM intake, it will work guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonball6789 Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 i already ordered an k&n cold air intake and it will be here on tuesday. aem was my next choice but i talked to the people at k&n and they said it will work fine so we will see.
