Hello Prix Friends
I am not a mechanic by any means lol but I am wondering A buddy of mine was saying that there is a
Screen or something where the injectors exit into the intake system I belive it is a round screen he said to remove for better mpg and hp or something I don't know if that is okay to remove that? And if so why?

**dsmuts** · 09-22-2012

Your buddy didn't know what hes talking about. You have quite a few members in your area.

**Fivefingerdeathpunch** · 09-22-2012

Agreed.

The only screen in the intake system is the MAF screen, and you never want to remove that.

Your buddy should stop giving advise lol.

What do you mean I have quite a few members in my area?

**dpuns88** · 09-22-2012

he means a lot people from this board live in your area of the country.

leave that screen in place, its there for a reason, and has nothing to do with the injectors. it smooths out the intake air so the maf can read the air flow properly. most who remove it suffer from a rough idle. or worse.

I see thanks for your advice

I bought a fuel maxx performance chip off ebay and installed it I was wondering if anybody has heard of it and if it is installed correctly how would know if it is increasing my performance? And also I recently replaced my passenger hub/bearing hoping that it would solve a sound that is constant when I turn my wheel even just a tad to the right it sounds like a grinding, any ideas?

Send the chip back or throw it away, it does nothing. You can only change the "tune" cars computer with the tuning program. A chip cant do anything.

**dsmuts** · 09-22-2012

Chip is junk. Cv joint could be going bad

**dpuns88** · 09-22-2012

okay thank you for the knowledge so what do I need to do in order to change the cars computer tuning chip? Is that chip that I installed not good to leave it installed in my car?

**dpuns88** · 09-22-2012

Cv joint where is that located and what does that stand for?

**blackspike2710** · 09-22-2012

Ebay =/= Performance. Research is free.

**dsmuts** · 09-22-2012

You can pull that "chip" back off the car. The cv joint is the constant velocity joint. It's the drive axle. If order to tune your car you would have to know someone that has hptuners or dhp tuners and have them tune your car.
