also if it helps out i have it connected to the tb and up over the rad fan shroud runs straight in line from the tb

 

No not really. The closer the Inlet Air Temp sensor is to the filter the colder the air will be. The sensor tells the PCM how much fuel to add based on air tempature.
Did you reset the PCM?

 

How and why do you reset the pcm. When I got my CIA it didn't come with any instructions.

The PCM "learns" the environment the truck is driven in and the way it is driven. When a mod like a CAI is installed it usually is good to reset the PCM memory so it can "re-learn". When the PCM is reset nothing happens to the program because it resides in a flash memory that keeps the program even when the power is off. All that is reset is the working memory containing the data collected by the sensors.

To reset the PCM remove the PCM fuse, put the key in the ignition, turn it to the ON position, wait for all the chimes to stop, turn the key to start and hold it for about 15-20 seconds (I've heard that helps insure the memory is completely reset...the engine will not try to start with the fuse out), turn the key back off and remove it, then re-install the PCM fuse. On the '03 the PCM fuse is #19, '04-'05 it is #23, '06-'07 it is #31, and I'm not sure about the '08 number. But on the inside of the fuse box cover is a guide indicating which fuse is for what.

 

ok thanks.

 

cool thanks alot for the step by step instuctions but one question after i do that and put the fuse back in do i want to drive it right away? and how should i drive it? does it make a differance on how i drive it? and any certain distance? i haven;t driven it alot in the past 4 months keeping miles off and not driving it in any bad weather it stays covered up in the garage. ps took it today to work went about 2 miles and snow squall came threw made roads wet so i turned around and put it back in the garage

still clean as a wistle got lucky

 

After reseting the PCM do you have to re-install your SuperChip program?

No you are fine the SuperChip re flashes the EEPROM in your PCM and is not effected by the reset.

Depending on how you want your PCM to learn how you drive for performance you need to drive like a bat out of hell. If you are looking for economy drive like your trying to squeeze water out of a rock. Your PCM will adjust accordingly. I forgot the time needed for the learning curve of the PCM.

You can drive it right after the fuse pull - no worries. Drive it like you stole it for the first 50 miles or so... she'll run much better

 

What if you have superchips? I did retune right after I installed my inake. Is that the equivilant to flashing the pcm?

 

I did the fuse pull and drove it like a wild man for 50 or so miles, like Mark suggested...today in town with a load of med donations weighing it down I gave it some gas and spun side ways down the street...man where did the power come from!

Jay would like to know if you've got any extra valium for his sheep. It makes them much more...docile.
