Fujita Causing SEL To Go Off

Fujita Causing SEL To Go Off
It's been about a week and a half now and I still haven't found a fix for my issue. It began when I installed my Fujita Intake. What happens is after i go about 20-30 miles the SEL light goes off. I took it into Auto and they tested it and it said engine running too lean. I went out to Lowes bought longer screws for the sensor and now that things holding very tight. Tonight went out for a drive to test it and same issue again. I redid the whole installation an hour ago and made everything super tight so hopefully this will fix it but for some odd reason I have no hope.
Also, just if this helps, i restart my system by unplugging the battery and the fusebox wires and i leave that untouched for about an hour to an hour and a half. So it does a full system restart.
Anyways I hope some of you guys have a answer for me. I know another guy who had same issue and his solution has not worked for me.

Hey redstar,
I have heard that some guys are actually replacing their rubber seals around the maf sensor to fit more snug in the intake. You should look into that maybe?

Finest - I am not sure about that for my case. Reason being i bought some rubber peices that were a bit smaller but thicker. Thing didnt even fit. Maybe ill take out the pipe and the sensor go down to home depo or Lowes and test all the rubbers untill I get a fatter one that will fit? Anyways ima make a phone call to the guy I bought it form right now and see what is going on.
Thanks for that comment though!

here's a pic take from another forum with poeple having the same problem
looks like you will need to cut down the steppers 1/16 in order to clear the gap between the MAF and the intake .

What i would be doing is talking to the manufacturer, your intake should not be giving you a CEL, if the manufacture says noting or does nothing , return it at their expense! Talk to the vendor that sold it to you if they are quiet return it at their expense!
Dont know how to do that? Call your credit card company, tell them your problem, they will reverse the charges and you will be in the favored position. this will force the vendor to respond to get the funds unfrozen, they will either work out something with you directly or they will contact the manufacturer and get them to do something.
EIther way do not modify the intake because if this fails to work and you want to return the item you may have problems.
Cheers

Can someone with the problem do this for me . Put tuck tape around the gap on the MAF , if the SES ligth does not show up after 150 miles then the leek is coming from the gap around the MAF .

I hope this isn't the case with EVERYONE'S Fujita intake. Stuff like this really pisses me off because, if they were to be bothered, it would've taken somebody at Fujita 5 seconds to figure out that there was a problem. That's it...5 seconds is all it would've taken to make this a better product. Not to mention the CVT fitment issue, which only came to light AFTER the product went to market...Oops! I'm now convinced Fujita are a bunch of dumbtarted, grabastic nitwits who don't give a damn about the products they sell. Thank the maker they don't produce headers or anything vital...there'd be people broken down by the dozens.
Can you all tell I despise laziness?
