Need help please! Check engine light after M370 intake install

tommyguns · 05-26-2013, 06:09 PM

I just installed the M370 intake, everything went smooth or at least I thought it did. It started right up and I'm getting a service engine soon and I have NO POWER BRAKES. Please can someone chime in and help a brother out.

you prolly left a hose loose or something. vacuum leak

Yes, it sounds like maybe a hose is not connected

If you're going to be working on your Z, you need at least two pieces of equipment:
1) OBD scanner. New cars are amazing at diagnosing themselves.
2) The FSM. Look up the error code from item 1 and it will tell you what it means and how to fix it.

Thanks for the quick replies. Yep that what it was. Missed a line. Still have the SES light. Any hint on how to get rid of it.
On another note, this thing rocks. well worth the $$$. This is one of those mods, that if you know your car you will feel it, without a dyno to prove it. I will have a re-tune after I install the ART's. So I will have a base done before that so I can compare to my previous runs to the M370. Then I will have a final run with everything done.
Thanks again folks!

More or less how long does this install take and does it always give off a SES light? Thanks guys!

Couple hours max to install and if you take your time and reconnect everything you should not get a SES light.

Gibby1113 · 05-26-2013, 09:19 PM

Cool cool. The couple of hours probably refer to y'all that know how to wrench and stuff. Took me +3 hrs to do my intakes. Yes I know, sloths can do that faster but speed was not my main goal. I triple checked everything and I'm worried if that's gonna happen w/ the manifold...

The install is no biggie, I caused the SES. Double check your work and you will not have a problem.

I had the same thing happen on my install, but after I was sure everything was installed properly I still got a fail light even though everything worked well. The tune made everything right and no SES lights sense. I think the SES was do to the ART pipes and exhaust more than the manifold.
