Volant CAI Causing Mas Sensor Malfunction??? - TundraTalk.net

PuertoRoc253 · 11-13-2012, 06:28 PM

I took my truck in to get the check engine light looked at. They said that my Mas sensor was bad due to too much airflow from my CAI... Is this possible. They said I should put the stock intake back on. Anyone have this problem?

I havent had that problem since I installed my Volant in 2008..make sure the filter is on and didnt come off?

Ill have to look when I get it back. Did you feel a lag in power at wot?

Clean the sensor, and make sure it is installed correctly. I've never heard of a sensor going bad because of too much airflow, lol.

I call BS. I don't think it is possible for an engine to get too much air; that is exactly what a turbo does, it force feeds air into the throttle body.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Is that what hooks up to the intake???

PuertoRoc253 · 11-13-2012, 07:13 PM

Yes. It's a ploy to get my money. So now they want me to buy a $282 fuel cleaning and a $510 transfer case and differential oil change...

There goes that new pistol I wanted...

Bingo..if your Volant uses "cleaning oil" then you probably over oiled it, happens with the K&N quite a bit. Clean the sensor and take it easy on the oil (if that is the case).

your Volant is it Powercore Filter? shoulndt have oil on it..

Agreed. Stealership, tell them to eff themselves. That is insane.

The Trd intake kept throwing lights on my '12 since I've taken it off its never came back on.. Not surprising to me.

Mine did the same. But the clamps just came loose. Readjusted it and haven't had any problems since.

JC meant your sensor is probably one backwards, not that you are backwards

Did this happen right after the CAI install? If so I agree. It all adds up if you do the MAF correctly. Literally and figuratively
