5. Operation

Once installed, the Flowmaster Delta Force Performance Air Intake System operates automatically as part of your vehicle's engine.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your Delta Force Performance Air Intake System, particularly the air filter, is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. The 8-layer cotton gauze air filter is serviceable and designed to be cleaned rather than replaced.

Air Filter Cleaning:

It is recommended to clean the air filter periodically, depending on driving conditions and mileage. Use a Flowmaster Delta Force Cleaning Kit (sold separately) for best results. Follow the instructions provided with the cleaning kit for proper cleaning and re-oiling procedures. Avoid using harsh chemicals or high-pressure water, as this can damage the filter media.

7. Troubleshooting

If you experience any issues after installing your Flowmaster Delta Force Performance Air Intake System, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Check all connections: Ensure all clamps, couplers, and fittings are securely tightened to prevent air leaks.
• Inspect the air filter: A dirty or improperly installed filter can restrict airflow. Clean or re-install as necessary.
• Verify sensor connections: If applicable, ensure any sensors transferred from the factory intake are correctly reconnected.
• Engine warning lights: If a check engine light appears, re-check all installation steps. Disconnecting the battery for a few minutes can sometimes reset the ECU, but persistent lights require professional diagnosis.
