Ok if i put the cold air intake on my 2001 ford f150 5.4 it throws the code of TO MUCH EGR FLOW.. Then if I put the factory back on and reset the computer and it want throw it with the factory.. I need help here guys thanks

 

sounds like you bought a eaby cheepo and have some vacuum lines failing

post up somoe pics and or a link to your cai

 

let me find a picture real fast

it looks just like that but its for a 5.4

 

looks like you have an el-cheapo



check the lines that connect to the intake I almost guarantee tehy are cheap and collapsing - get some better lines or just do the gotts mod and return your CAI

 

I guess that is what I get for going cheap... The old saying you get what you pay for.. I just put it back factory with the K@N filter

 

you can still make it work



you just need to replace the 2 flimsy lines that run to teh intake tubue


OR

you can return it for being defective and do the gotts mod since you have a K&N drop in anyway and have better performance

 

i kind of did the gotts mod on my truck with my cai but i thought it was my idea until i posted it on here and someone told me it was similar. mine still helps a little bit

 

Those 2 hoses that came with the CAI are pretty flimsy so you think that will fix the problem??

 

I'm pretty sure it will

 

One line goes to the driver side valve cover and the other goes to the IAC. How does that affect EGR flow? What is the code number that you are getting?

.

 

Don't rem. the code he should me what it what it read TO MUCH EGR FLOW
I figured it was suckin to much air or something I don't know..

 

It should never suck in TOO MUCH air. your intake can only flow so much without air being forced into it. if your engine is still sucking air, the airflow is still fine. try those lines the other guys mentioned, then if it still does the code, just return it. or try a different filter on it maybe. preferrably K&N. maybe the filter thats on there is really crappy and letting less than a paper one would. im no expert but it seems that some good ideas are flowing to you from everyone. good luck. and if it really doesnt work, do the gotts mod.

 

If you have a vacuum leak you get a code P0171 and/or P0174. These are lean bank codes. To much EGR sounds like the DPMS unit is bad.
