yes it will hurt it, never make your own cai, just spend the money to get one premade, and yes get a tuner, if its throwing codes, then obviously its a sign somethings wrong.

lol!! Man can you take a pic of your Homemade CAI. I would love to see what contraption you conjured up. I keep picturing this cardboard duct taped together lol.
Dont take offense to this I just want to see what you made.
well i dont have a camre but just a couple of pieces of thin pvc pipe with some heat resistent paint and a cone filter and there you have it looks like an origanle.i had the code run on it and sure enough its running to lean but they said it wouldnt hurt just suck more gas.

Running lean means that there is NOT enough fuel in the air/fuel mixture. I dont know where "they" get their information, but its wrong. Lean will KILL your engine and make it run HOT HOT HOT.
no tyzorg no ducktape,i took everything back off and put all the origanal back on,can anyone tell me where to go to gat a good pefprmanca package cai tuner and pully.
