Opened the box back up, it was all foamy. I'm not car technical but I think the maf detected there was something wrong and turned off the engine so it wouldn't get fucked. Removed the filter and cel was thrown, cleared it by disconnecting battery.
In other news, not running a filter makes the engine super growly.  |
........ that's for putting a wet filter back into your car.
Why did you wash it at all ....... our air is pure and our "soil" has not been aged long enough to make clay, let alone dust....??
BTW, what kind of filter material was it ..... ??
If it was an oiled filter ...... why did you wash it with something "foamy" .. ??
If it was a paper filter ...... why did you "wash'' it at all ..... ??
If it was a washable, dry filter ...... why didn't you "cook" it in the oven before replacing ... ?? (on the center rack at 300 degrees F, for 15 minutes).
Unless it is an oiled filter, next time just replace it with a new one .......
