Ebay Intake Help(Not what you think)

[nando2323]

he needs help on installing it I think. Its pretty simple I did mine myself and it only took me like 45 minutes the hardest part was taking out the stock intake.

i just ordered an intake off of ebay and il have no problem installing it, but i have a question about the neg. terminal, do you have to unhook it and if u do how long should it be done for and what are the advantages?

thanks

You would unhook the neg terminal to reset the ECU I did mine for an hour. Another thing that you want to do is seal the MAF really good its known to have vaccum leaks like the others posted b4. I did that with some gasket making goop that you can buy at auto stores, or you can make a gasket yourself from an used inner tube.

Hmmm, I thought the ECu reset was: remove neg. terminal and hold the brake pedal down for @15 seconds...

I never heard of that maybe someone could clear that up.

i installed my intake finally and it is awesome, i didnt do the brake pedal thing should I? i reset the ecu just with the neg cable disconnection. It is blue same color as my car pix are on my cardomainpage

Depressing the brake pedal is just a fail safe way to make sure the electrical system is completely discharged. If you had the negative terminal disconnected for 10 minutes or so, I wouldn't worry about it.

ya it was disconnected the whole time i was installing the intake so that ok?

It should be fine. Did you notice your tranny wanting to shift sooner than normal first time you started the car up? The tranny has to 're-learn' your shift points over time.

actually good point i forgot bout that, but it seems to shift later now....
