All this is aside, Im still curious what is causing this mystery CEL and power loss, ive yet to find any vaccume leak that i can tell at least. What about just resetting the ECU? It was suggested on 3si, however i dont see that fixing the lag my car has under acceleration now.

So the filter can flow better, does it help? What about codes? I'll pay for something that works and looks like it belongs. If you are willing to take time to make it look professional cool, I applaud your ingenuity. But prove to me your making a difference.

I would try reseting your ECU. I know when I put on my friend's filter, a couple days later it threw a CEL claiming that the plugs and wires were all bad. Well, we eventually cleared the code and the light never came back.

My guess? I'm thinking that maybe the filter allowed for "better" air flow so maybe your system needs to rescan everything!?! But that's just what I think... Since you have a '99, you should be able to scan your car easily so might as well do that. I have a hybrid so if mine threw a CEL I would be SOL!?! Which makes me wonder...what would I do to pull the code!?! LOL

i think you pull a code on a hybrid the same way you do on OBD-I

No on hybrids you have to ground the #12 pin (iirc) and then turn the switch on. The code will blink at you on the CEL on the dash.

As far as trying to save money, my entire intake cost a whopping $40. If you cant afford that go buy a Honda.

^^I'm assuming they'll be a pause between each number when blinking? How do you decipher the codes after you get 'em?

[Stealthee]

the first number will be "long" blinks. A quick pause then the second number will be faster blinks.
