Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your AEM DryFlow Air Filter, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Reduced Performance: Ensure the filter is clean and free of excessive debris. A clogged filter can restrict airflow. Verify the filter is properly seated in the airbox, creating a tight seal.
- Unusual Noises: Check for proper installation. An improperly seated filter or airbox lid can cause air leaks and unusual sounds.
- Check Engine Light: While rare, an improperly installed air filter or a damaged Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor during installation can trigger a check engine light. Re-check installation and consult a professional if the light persists.
- Filter Damage: Inspect the filter for any tears or damage to the media or molding. A damaged filter should be replaced to ensure proper filtration.
