CTS Intake CEL

Any resolution on fixing the CTS Turbo Intake CEL? It's really annoying me.

Did you check that all clamps are tight and sensor is sealed in hole?

If there isn't a leak, or you damaged a sensor, then go back to stock.

Would help if you knew what code the CEL is tripping on. Otherwise you are just shooting in the dark....

Oh I know the code its P120D and I didn't have a CEL for a while like months and suddenly I keep getting it. Maybe its worth disassembling it and reassembling it.

In that case, I'd say its not the intake's fault. I'd check connections

Yep I'm going to disassemble and reassemble but if you google CTS intake CEL there are a LOT of posts over the last couple of years.

Cleared all of the codes, disassembled and reassembled the intake, cleaned the MAF and used some mechanic wire to pull the intake away from the PCV hose. Lets see if the code comes back. If it does im going to go back to stock but I will miss the noise.

I have P120D code as well on my P3 gauge, but when I run a diag on Bootmod3 it tells me it's the exhaust valve actuator. You might be chasing the wrong problem, worth a check anyway.

I dug deeper, I do have the same 20e120 code on Bootmod3. Seems common enough for open air intakes, I just coded it out and now the CEL is gone.
