    Home made intake

    A clamp on cone filter can also be reused by cleaning and re-oiling it with a K&N kit.

    possible TB/CAI/Flash tuner prob HELP!!!

    It can also be due to the PCM re-learning the idle strategy, which happens whenever a new tune is installed. There's a procedure in the battery section of the owner's manual that helps the PCM to re-learn the idle strategy quicker.

    Loud Rattle Noise From Under Hood When Cold.

    Logic dictates that if the noise goes away when using premium, then it's most likely caused by detonation. If the noise remains with premium, then something else is most likely causing it. If the former is the case, then carbon may have built up inside the combustion chambers due to the engine...

    climate control out of wack?

    It was definitely happening last winter, but was probably unnoticeable because it's designed to blow only a small volume of air onto the windshield in the floor mode. But if it's currently blowing as much, or more, air onto the windshield in that mode, then something is wrong.

    climate control out of wack?

    Some air always blows onto the windshield when the floor mode is selected in order to keep the windshield from frosting up in the winter.

    Failed emissions... + bad day seeking input + Warning to JLTII owners.

    Reinstall the stock tune and stock intake before doing any driving to clear the "not ready" readouts. The custom tune eliminates some of the readiness tests, which speeds up the PCM for improved engine performance, and driving will not clear them with the custom tune installed.

    Throttle Problem???

    If your car has the stock tune, then suggest installing an aftermarket tune to eliminate the throttle lag.

    Not a problem.

    Predator custom tune and dead battery

    Yep, it should still be there. However, you may notice that the engine's idle is erratic. This is normal after a battery replacement, and it should disappear after 20-30 miles of driving. Also, there's a procedure in the battery maintenance section of the owner's manual that facilitates the...

    Warm Weather Problems - Bogging/Pinging

    Sorry, misunderstood you. Bogging starts happening when the temps get into the 80's, and gets worse as it gets hotter, whether the tune is modded or stock. However, the stock tune feels worse because of its more conservative torque management algorithm.

    Warm Weather Problems - Bogging/Pinging

    Just to make sure that no stones go unturned, did you specify to Brenspeed that you're using a Bullitt CAI?

    Warm Weather Problems - Bogging/Pinging

    Great suggestions from the others. However, suggest that you try different brands of gas first. If that does not help, then dump a can of Seafoam into your gas tank at the station immediately before filling up. It's possible that the engine has some carbon build up, which can cause pinging. My...

    Octane Boost

    +1. Also, updated data and info(TSB's, etc.) sometimes become available after a thread has been posted, and starting a new thread brings this stuff to light.

    helping 0-60 auto time w gears/CAI/tune

    A member of another forum was able to reduce his 1/4 mile times by 0.2 sec. after installing 4.10's on his S197 GT(Forget if it was a manual or auto). Unfortunately, he did not post any slips that showed where the times improved the most, i.e., 0-60', 60'-330', 330'-1/8 mile, and 1/8 mile-1/4...

    Octane Boost

    It's a good thought, however I agree with the others who say that it will foul the spark plugs big time. And they will have to be replaced. If you ever get into a "high octane tune/low octane gas" situation and do not have your handheld tuner, then suggest that you drive conservatively and...

    PINGING visited - again...sorry this one is kinda long...

    The plugs in the original S197 GT head are considered 2-piece because they have a smooth lower metal part(ground electrode shield) and a threaded upper metal part that are joined/fused together, instead of being machined from a single piece of metal. And the ground electrode shield sometimes...

    PINGING visited - again...sorry this one is kinda long...

    Defective plugs and/or coil packs can definitely cause an engine to run rough. Also, an S197 GT owner on another forum eliminated a pinging problem by replacing the spark plugs. Seafoam eliminated a pinging problem with my 05 S197 GT when it had only 17K miles on it. Retarding the timing may...
