Troubleshooting

Engine performance seems reduced after installation

Ensure the air filter is installed correctly and the housing is sealed tightly. An improperly seated filter can cause airflow issues. Double-check that the correct filter part number was used for your vehicle.

Difficulty fitting the filter into the housing

Verify that the filter is the correct part number for your vehicle. Ensure no debris is obstructing the housing and that the filter is oriented correctly according to the original installation.

Check Engine light comes on

While unlikely to be caused directly by a new filter, ensure the air filter housing is securely closed. If the issue persists, it may indicate another engine problem; consult a mechanic.
