Can putting a cold air intake in my ford focus se cause my lifter to give out?
No, not a chance.
Possibly, but not likely. Assume you put the CAI on to get sweet performance boost (joke) and have been driving the car hard, causing added stress. Probably related to how you have been running the engine.
Why would you put a cold air intake on a Ford Focus? Talk about a waste of money.
No, it isn't going to be related. Since the car already had a cold air intake, if anything you've actually caused a decrease in performance. Nobody wants to hear what you THINK it did, without dyno numbers or before/after track times, "seat of the pants" is not quantifiable.
The lifter is actuated by the camshaft. The camshaft is timed by the crank/timing chain/belt. The intake tract of the engine has no moving parts aside the throttle body, and that again has no bearing on lifters.
- Why does my cold air intake make my car super slow? I bought a cold air intake for my 2015 ford taurus put it on and lost power alot of power. I didn't use the normal air intake tubing i stayed with the tubing that comes in the car and put a filter at the end and reconnected the one sensor. Now my friend did this to his car and it gave him more power i don't know why mine loses power
- Can i unplug my mass air flow sensor to get my cold air intake to work better on my 2015 ford taurus? When i put the cold air intake on my car it went really slow so if I unplug the sensor would it fix that problem
- Why is my 93 ford ranger 5 speed 3.0 heater now blowing out cold air? I have a 93 ford ranger. Last winter the heater worked descent. Blowing above warm air. Not as warm as my newer model car but it worked. The beginning of this winter it wasn't quite as warm as last year. Within 2-3 weeks its now blowing out cold air (defrost panel floor all vents). Last night at roughly 25-30 degrees I drove it approx. 10 miles occasionally turning heater/defrost on to try to defrost windshield some and upon returning home it sounded like boiling water under the hood.
- How dangerous is water to a cold air intake? I have a 1999 Ford Ranger that I recently bought and it has pretty bad gas mileage and I'd like to fix that and the power behind the engine. Where I live we get pretty significant rain fall and some small puddles that you end up having to drive through. The last think I want to do is hydro lock my engine. Are heavy rain and small puddles actually a danger for hydro locking a CAI? Even if I were to buy one of the waterproof jackets?
