Default Joez help

Sooooooo

I'm very mechanically inclined. After joez intake I have check vsc, exclamation lit up, cel, and traction lit up. Car running, mo lymph mode. Feels hesitant. I put it back to stock, fine. Reinstalled joez, same ****.

Input? Thanks in advance.

That's a though one Mike....

I haven't had one intake install ever throw the lights like that..??!!

I am guessing you did NOT unplug the MAF or had the ACC in the ON position during the install ?

Also, were the vacuum lines tight?? and of course where the sleeves snug??

No. Car off. Didn't touch or clean maf.

I disconnected battery and reset ecu. First start it stumbled and stalled. Tried again. Started real rough. Idoled rough, then seems ok. No lights on dash. We will see what happens.

Should I have disconnected maf? I followed directions exactly. I mean it's just as easy as replacing an air filter.

All I can say is thanks Joe. Tremendous customer care.

After a 90+ minute conversation, think we got it all figured out and then some.

Error was on my part, not in any way product related.

No doubt. Joe stands by his products 100%, but also is willing to help out a fellow Lexus enthusiast even if it's not his own products. Stand up guy...Darshana S...

+100% Can't say I have always been a JoeZ believer, but after buying one of his intakes and seeing the craftsmanship I am now! I am a REAL stickler for details, and his intake is built with care and love, and is much better fitment than my K&N was!

WoW.. Thanks for ALL the kind words Guys!!!

Fate, it was a pleasure to finally speak to you..
Since we go way back as some of the original IS300 owners (is300.net) from just about 10 years ago..

Glad the issue was easily resolved..

Best Regards,

Joe Z
