just fitted a k&n induction kit sounds great but have to say it feels like there is a slight delay on pick up is this normal or is there anything i can do about it thanks chaps

 

1. What car/other mods?

2. Check fitting - are all hoses plugged in?

3. What fuel?

4. Any fault codes stored?

5. Faulty fitting can lead to early MAF failures from vibration.

 

No delay on mine!

 

thanks john
1. hoses fitted ok
2.optimax with nf octane booster
3.scoobysport downpipe and exhaust
4.checked and rechecked everything is fitted ok
5.not sure how to get fault codes
going to do a ecu reset maybe that will sort it

 

Where is it slow to pick up - ie what RPM? The only thing I can think of is either failed MAF sensor due to fitting and vibration or it is running a bit lean because of MAF misreads - but IIRC this has only been a problem with APS versions of the K&N which sit in the wing and is still not fully worked out -see stepen Done's recent drivetrain thread - strange results after induction mods.
