CEL codes after CAI installation

Lt1omeli · 05-07-2019, 09:53 PM

Hello, I recently installed a zzp cai on my 2017 2.0t camaro. The CVC hose was a pain and the tabs on the inside broke. I continued to install the intake and simply put the sensor over the new intake nipple. (It does not snap into place, due to the broken tabs) The CEL codes that popped up were P2227 & P2229. After the install i decided to unplug the battery. After about 15 miles of driving, the CEL came back with what felt like a loss of power. I pulled over and put the stock air box back in, and drove it about 30 miles home. Haven't had the opportunity to read the new CEL, but it felt better driving home. I'm still afraid that I shouldn't be driving the car. Is the issue because of the CVC hose? If so, where can I get a cheap 2016 one? Thank you

The 2227 code is leak in the intake 2229 is barometric sensor out of range. I had the same issue different codes different connector.
But yeah you’ll need to do one of 2 things. Replace the entire hose, or remake the entire hose using silicone hose and some adaptors.
You can use a bunch of electrical tape to get you through for the time being. I have had good luck searching eBay with the old part numbers and found some great deals on different parts.
