Troubleshooting

Reduced engine power after installation

Ensure the air filter is correctly seated in the housing and that the housing is securely closed. Verify no debris has fallen into the air intake. Confirm the part number matches your vehicle's requirements.

Check Engine Light illuminates

While unlikely to be caused solely by a new filter, ensure it was installed correctly. If the light persists, it may indicate another issue unrelated to the air filter. Consult a mechanic.
