GingerFlame Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Depends what air filter? Where have you located it? Got a picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsden94 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 I've had it on before by is a lot warmer weather now and it's just infront of the battery Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 How high/low is it? Can it get a clear feed of cold air? There's nothing covering it or blocking it is there? Sounds like it may not be getting enough air or the air is far too warm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsden94 Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 I've just took my nap sensor off and throttle body cleaned them. There was oil on my map sensor and it's worse now Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Disconnect the battery (if you've got your radio code) for 30 mins. Let the ECU clear itself as if the map sensor had oil on it.(I'm guessing from a K&N filter?) It'll have messed with the mixture ratios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerFlame Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Either the ECU has adjusted the mixture or the oil that was present has gone! Good result either way :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
