2 Questions


Whats up everyone, so I finally got my CAI and I just put in on the other day and tooks some pics and movies while doing it (just looking for a site to load them on to so I can show them here ) but just after I put them on the weather turned crappy and its been raining and snow I guess is just around the corner. So.........

1) Is it ok to leave the CAI on all year round, can moisture get into the motor and reck it? Should I put the stock back on?

2) I have a 2002 3.8 and I think im gettin really bad fuel mileage. The other day I filled it up and reset the trip meter and I only got 270km on a full tank. It was all city driving. Then the week after that I only filled half a tank and i got about 200km out of it. Driving behavior, TCS, and OD were all same in both trials (on that is for the later 2). How can I make my automatic more efficent and get more bang for my buck?

ps. I have been swerving all over the raod to aviod big puddles.

leave it on. No damage will be done. The only thing is you should clean the outside of it to reduce the risk of heat soak or rust if it is made out of metal. To upload them just go to a place like www.putfile.com or www.youtube.com Can't help ya out with the second question though. Sorry.

i clean it every now and then. Once it starts to look dirty I clean it. Just like the rest of your car. You don't want it lookin bad.
