Hey I had a homemade AIR INDUCTION on my 89 305 TBI camaro. My dad said that with the cold mornings of Rochester I should prolly take it off, cuz he didn't know what the cold would do to the start. So being a good boy I took it off. Now I miss the extra power it had and I want to put it back on. But I am worried about what my dad said. Would the cold air screw up my starts or anything else? OH yeah, I am also thinking about putting on a K&N air filter, is too much air bad?

 

why would cold mornings hurt it? its not a carb.

why do cold mornings hurt carbs, really, i dont know. i know my car runs rough when its cold, its tbi, with lots of air. do i have a problem here?
it doesnt really bother me because its fine when it finally warms up.

 

Cold air is just dense air to your engine. Denser air means a denser charge in your cylinders. I would think that the only way you could have "too much" air would be if you weren't giving it fuel to match - then you run lean, which is bad. On a naturally aspirated engine I don't think it's possible; on a blown engine it's very possible. Now if you're worried about icing... well, that may be a problem - but probably not. I've had my ram/cold-air setup through two winters and haven't had any problems... <knock on wood>

cold air bothers my carbed Jeep sometimes because there isn't enough vaccume to keep the idle up. TBI I never had a problem. Cold air kicks a-ss in my car.

 

So whut I am hearing is throw the AIR back on ? Any ideas whut I should do with the Icing over??

 

Ice? lol it never gets that cold here. I'm in LA. Maybe you should check out the North East thirdgen site. www.nethirdgen.org

 

Well, were it me I wouldn't even worry about it until it actually occurs. If it even occurs.

Hey thanks for the help. I guess when I get back to Jersey i will throw it back on, and see how it does. Keep your fingers crossed that I dont get no ice. :0) Thanks again for the help !
