Installed exhaust and Intake, pedal dead spot. How long does it last
 

How long does it take(in miles) for the ECU to relearn and adjust to the new airflow? I have also noticed at lower RPMS in 6th(2000ish) engine seems to be a bit more sluggish then normal. I only have about 50 total miles.

what intake did you put on? if it's something more than a drop in filter you might wanna get some tuning done.

When I did my exhaust I reset the ECU and it drove like a dog for 50 or so miles till it worked out what was going on.

aFe Intake and perrin catback. I plan to get the FA20Club Stage 2 ECU tune very very soon. ;)

around 50-100 miles on the dead pedal spot. :) but a tune will make you give you more gain out of those mods.:thumbsup:

:thumbsup:

Did you reset the ECU by pulling the battery cable?

Yes. Pulled neg battery cable. Did my install. Reconnected cable. Let the car idle for 10 mins as suggested. Its getting better.

Is it normal for the car to feel sluggish after an intake and exhaust install?For some reason down low car does not feel the same :( I probably now have 150 ish miles on the car now since the install. I am guessing the AFR is out of whack. The car does not have the same punch it used to when it was stock.

Can't speak for everyone but I only noticed slight improvements (Injen though). Maybe check everyone is on correctly? Specficially the intake.

It looks correct. I will look at it again later. Also car is not throwing CELs.

Will resetting the ecu void warrenty? And will installing ecutek void warrenty?

To reset the ECU you just pull the neg battery connection. That does not void the warranty. ECU tunes technically yes, but from what people have said, the dealer can not detect the tune. General tunes are safe if you get it from a respectable tuner. Please be clear, I don't advocate defrauding Toyota or Subaru.

I had a dead spot on my Injen intake until I got it replaced with a better one. The first one I received had some seriously bad welds that somehow made their way inside the tube which to my own guess, disturbs the airflow. How does your tube look like from the inside, is it smooth or does it look like this?

I have a Perrin exhaust as well and mine didn't feel sluggish, in fact it felt a little more responsive, so it's probably the intake since that seemed to be problems for some of the people installing them, car probably just needs to adapt or something.

Mine is the aFe. Its not metal but a modeled like plastic. I will keep an eye on things.

One more thing I like to add, I currently have an Injen intake and a Greddy Evo 3 exhaust. The last time I reset my ECU I did NOT get a dead spot, only the first time when I still had the stock exhaust /w Injen. Soooo.....I dont know what to explain out of this but just want to share something for you guys for what its worth.

Also, the last time I reset my ECU my mileage was around 4K vs 1.5k when I first experienced my last dead spot after an ECU reset.

sounds like you've got a bog problem and not a dead pedal problem.

get a tune or put the stock intake back on.

If you're on the stock flash it will take 50-100 miles for the ecu to adjust and remove the dead spot. Happened to mine whenever I reset the ecu.

getting the FA20CLUB Stage 2 tune today. :happy0180:

That's how my air raid felt when I first put it on. Now it feels great, I don't remember how long it took, but give it time and drive it.

back in the day i had a roomate who purchased a ebay cold air intake. when installing the cone filter he shoved the filter all the way onto the pipe so that the end of the pipe was mated to the very end of the filter..basically sealing off nearly all air becasue the piping was pushed up agains the rubber end of the filter. He then drove it and the car stalled a few times before he asked for my help then realized he had the filter shoved on the pipe to far.

This is a much better description. FACLUB20 Stage 2 tune purchased. Whats weird is the "bog" might be making the torque dip more pronounced. I will update the thread when I get my ECU flashed.

After looking at the install of the intake, I can see where there might be a problem. Its not sealed completely. Only on the bottom side which is hard to see unless you are looking. Wait for the car to cool down before fix it. I will try to post a picture, its hard to see.

I've been having the same problem with my Injen intake. It bogs out when it goes into idle and its even stalled out 2 or 3 times. I wanna try reseting everything after reading some of the suggestions. Any word from anyone if that solved your issues?

Its better. I think I still might have loss a bit of power. But I think this is due to me running rich on my AFR. Waiting to flash tune file sometime next week. So far no stalls or any idle issues, and no cels.
