Problems with cold air intake
Has anyone had any problems with the injen evolution Intake for the 2.0? Recently my check engine light came on and I heard a loud rattle sound coming from the Intake side of the engine. When I put my stock Intake back in the sound went away. Any ideas?

Next time take a video, otherwise we're just pissing in the wind. Was it installed correctly? Everything tightened down?

Sounds like everything isn't tighten down right for the rattling part but the check engine light part sounds like you need to clear out the ecu. I had to do that with my AFE moment gt intake once I did it never came back on after that. I hope that helps you out .

How loud was it? If ur talking about the injen evo 7300 I had the same issue after taking the box in and out several times . Which caused the 1 or all 3 rubber washers located in the location where the air box snaps and seats on the engine bay.. without those, the hard plactic box vibrates on the metal of the car... i think thats ur problem . I bought those rubber washer for $3 ea on ebay... its like $8 each at my locale gm dealer. About the light ive never had a light may be there a leak sowhere....

Agree with Beast, the box does not "clip" in to the grommets like the stock one. That is for the rattle. The code may be coming from the MAF not being transferred correctly. That is really the only electrical component of the CAI. Unless you are throwing a code from air flow, which no one, including myself has had a problem with. I would get an OBD reader and see what the code is. My money's on the MAF.

I have seen issues with some of the Cold Air Intakes on the market. It seems to be hit or miss between cars, maybe something slightly off in the install or the designs.
Some cars have had as bad as 29%+ lean Short Term Fuel Trims at idle. |

I'd venture to guess that that had to pertain to the install. A lot of people don't realize that the clamps need to be TIGHT and that 'eh good enough' is going to cause problems.

Yeah, a lot of people tend to misjudge the couplers and clamps. They think that if they look installed they must be installed. I run into that problem often, and can usually see it in the logs......then commences the "Please fix your clamps", followed by the "Trust me they're installed" or "looks good to me, my buddy helped me" conversation.

Injen needs to get their R&D together before releasing a product to the public this is very unacceptable, I paid 500 CAD dollars for this intake only to get a shitty quality build that is subject to rattle, Injen needs to provide customers with actually rubber grommets that fit why should I or you put a double sided tape over what? this issue needs to be addressed
