Ok so I have had a BBK Cold Air Intake installed on my Mustang for 6 months now and no problems. Friday my engine light came on. I took it to Ford and they said it is running leans and to take the BBk Intake off. Well, I clld my dad in NC who is a senior Master Tec at Ford who has seen this way to many times with aftermarket intakes. He said it may be due to the fact i put reg. unleaded fuel in my car which contained 10% alcohol or something. He sugested running the fuel out then putting in a higher octain or fuel that does not contain the alcohol then Disconect the battery to reset the engine light. Then see how it does. I due normally run higher octain in the car and dont know why I put the reg. fuel in so I am hoping this is the problem

Has anyone else had any similar problems like this?

 

i had mine in for about the same lenght of time. i dont run lean

 

ahhh

"Vehicle: 2007, Ford Mustang"

yes you need a tune for the intake, i recomend justin at vmptuning.com

05-09s need to be reflashed for every little thing you do

 

and you are wasting your money on the 91 octaine gas, these cars were designed to run on regular.

 

Im having the same problem with mine. How'd you fix it?

 

+1, you have to get a tuner or you will get codes all the time. Americanmuscle.com has a great selection. I hear that some 05+ CAI don't need a tune to use them but don't hold me too that. Grab a tuner and enjoy.

 

S197's have to be tuned for EVERYTHING

BBK and AM say that you don't need one, but I would just get a tuner and tune it like Ryansquick6 says.

 

whatever they say, you do need a tuner for 05 and up. thats why they even sell package deals, CAI and a tuner together for one price

 

do the new gt's need tuners too?
