Who is "HE?"

 

[DanielJ]

A buddy of mine out here. His car sputters and acts as if its bogging out and the mechanic he called said it was called a CIA. He was telling me about it at work and i work nights so they were open to call but hes calling back today to find out what he meant.

 

[DanielJ]

the only logical thing i can think it may stand for is "cold air induction"

 

[DanielJ]

but then again that means he said it wrong or is retarded.

IAC Valve, which stands for Idle Air Control, and is a very probably culprit for the symptoms you describe.

ha well thats from the mouth of an Arkansas mechanic. thats why i asked on here, i googled the crap out of it and still nothing. Everyones said he most likely means CAI. The last time i had a mechanic help me he said that the p205 code i got was because my muffler had a leak.. Last time i checked there are no "sensors" in a muffler. Real cause was a throttle body.

He was probably thinking that the muffler bearings had to be greased

More likely this^

If your buddy has a CAI(Cold Air Intake) or an oiled drop-in-filter(K&N), it's possible that the filter is over oiled and will coat the MAF sensor, also causing similar issues.

Do a quick search on here to find how to clean the IAC(very easy and I've done it) as well as cleaning the MAF sensor(once again, very easy to do). After doing those two, then see how it runs. Report back your findings

Yeah, ive had that happened to me when i put on my afe intake. I just went to autozone and got maf cleaner and all was well again.
