Not sure what I may have done wrong?
I replaced the standard box with this,
I put the maf which was running fine, removed the bits which we're not needed, apart from the gubins behind the bumper.
On idle was a bit rough, but drove fine, but wanted to stall coming up to a Junction,
Did the 20 stomp reset and the engine light came on and more uneven revving even though the car was upto temperature.

Re: Engine light after revi air box install
Did you also remove the VFAD, and if so did you plug the vacuum lines properly?

Re: Engine light after revi air box install
I was just reading up, the little red cap did not come with, as it's a used unit, is this what your suggesting Sam?

Re: Engine light after revi air box install
The vacuum pipe needs blocking but it's unlikely to cause a CEL.
You need to read the code and pinpoint the issue

Re: Engine light after revi air box install
Quick update,
There's one thing I didn't mention, because I didn't think it was a possible cause until I put the code reader in.
I've just replaced my toyo sports 200cell cat with a rrp 100cell cat, drove it a couple of times and it was ace.
It might be a coincidence?
But I have just changed to the revi air box, and I have now got a p0171, lean bank, air box or exhaust?

Re: Engine light after revi air box install
Either a leak or possibly a missing/damaged mesh screen. These are the first things to check.

Re: Engine light after revi air box install
Unmetered air is entering the engine,somewhere. Check the condition of the MAF sensor O-ring and replace it to be safe.Apply a smear of silicon grease to it when refitting the MAF into the intake.

Re: Engine light after revi air box install
So, quick update,
Re checked what I'd done, and didn't do more to the point!.
Firstly, there was no mesh, so I fitted the one from the standard box,
Cleaned and resealed the maf
And caped the vrad,
Cleared the code with my code reader
And took it for a quick thrash and all seems normal again,
Thanks for the advice chaps
Your knowledge is invaluable
