I have a 2010 v6 mustang I recently put a bbk cold air intake
I I'm wondering if any one has any suggestions I put this product on and got the check engine light I installed to the teeth of what is required

 

Due to being a (No tune required CAI), BBK is known to possibly throw CEL codes. Have you double checked all clamps and made sure they are all secure?
If so, in order to correct the issue, you will mostl likely need a hand held tuner with a custom tune to eliminate the code. Do not expect much of a performance gain with a stand alone CAI, the custom tune is the where most of the performance gain comes from. With that said, I would recommend either American Muscle/Bama Tuning or Brenspeed.

 

What kevin said...

Even the no-tune-required (barf) CAI's have been known to throw a lean code. But a no-tune CAI will gain you squat whereas a CAI and custom tune will gain you about 15 or more RWHP. Do it right.

 

Un-plug the battery for about 30 minutes, should fix it.

 

Yeah, but the CEL will probably return after about 20-40 miles since it came in the first time

 

Not necessarily, I got a CEL when I had the BBK CAI and after unplugging the battery for about 45 minutes it never came back.

 

Doesn't matter, you will still be running lean. You either need to re-install the stock airbox for now or pay for a tune from a reputable place like American Muscle or Brenspeed. The BBK intake is an ok intake, it's just that all no-tune CAIs are prone to throwing lean codes because you are adding air without adjusting the computer for it.

 

You can try removing the MAF sensor and giving it a good cleaning with some CRC MAF Sensor Cleaner. You might find that it helps since the CAI is pushing the PCM to the limit of AFR adjustment.

 

I still spend days and nights wondering why people get an intake without a tune....
