Without getting much into the pros or cons of a cold air intake or the other parts in general, I have a question about programmers and the CAI and the relearning process. First the details:
2010 Expedition Eddie Bauer w/ 105k miles
I recently installed:
New Motorcraft Plugs
New Summit Performance Coils
K&N CAI
New "Performance" MAF
Edge Evolution CTS Programmer
MagnaFlow Hi Flow Cats
Gibson 3" Stainless Steel cat back exhaust
The programmer has an option to create a "custom" tune with a series of options, including one specifically for a cold air intake and has the K&N in the list of supported CAI's.
When I tried to program the tuner using the CAI option, I noticed my MAF readings seemed to be a little higher on the programmer but the truck idled really rough, would stall coming to a stop quite often and idled higher than normal (maybe 700 rpms vs 500 rpms). I know at least some of this is a symptom of the relearn process but my question is...
I drove it for a good 30 miles and it never changed.
If I put the CAI setting on the programmer back to the stock intake the MAF readings seem to go down some but the truck seems to run fine and doesn't do the whole stalling and rough idle thing so my question is...
Has anyone every dealt with this to know if I just needed to give it some more time to relearn or if maybe that specific tune isn't appropriate or if I need to do any other changes to the programmer settings (like higher idle point or different throttle WOT setting) to really get the full advantage of the CAI?
Just curious.
Thanks!
