You may want to e-mail or contact Jegs for more info (like warranty).
At the top of there page (jegs.com) they have a "Ask-A-Tech" E-Mail box. try it!
Done: Curious about the JET Performance#561-69149 offered here on your site. I've been getting intermittent MAF failure codes that are re-settable but can be triggered under hard acceleration. I utilized the stock sensor when installing the intake but I'm thinking that maybe that device can not handle the increase air flow generated through the intake. What makes the JEGS device "high performance" and do you believe that this will solve my problem? What assurances do I have that this device will deliver as promised? Can you provide technical information to support JEGS' claim of "improves mileage, increases power & torque"?

Don't know what kind of answer you'll get, as it is a JET product. I did update my previous post to include a link to JET web with their phone number. It's always best to go to manufacturer if possible. May want to contact JET as well.

Just bought one (Mini V1 5 ELM327 OBD2 Bluetooth Auto Car Scanner Diagnostic Tool for Android | eBay). I'll let the forum know how it works.
I got this thing on Saturday - so far so good. It communicates with the Android app "Torque" - there is a free version as well as a Pro for $4.95. Customizable with different gauges, graphs, etc. It should prove to be helpful as a diagnostic tool.

At the suggestion of a knowledgeable colleague I dumped in two cans of Iso Heat to clean the injectors. Disconnected the battery and after 30+ minutes reconnected and started the car. Let it idle for 10 minutes. No light when I parked it. Saturday a.m. filled up (3/4 tank+) with premium on the way to a day at Road America for a high performance driving class. No light on the drive but it did flicker on briefly during one of the events. Light dark thru the day under hard driving and it still is.

The only code in the "log" that I was able to pick up was a 2187. I will use the diagnostics available to me using the OBDII device I bought to suss this out.

Thanks for the tips guys!

Around here , we use lacquer thinner as it also cleans the cat, as per video:


the 2187 is a lean code. Other possibilties include a purge valve solenoid
