Definately a problem with the Volant CAI, it acts the same exact way on my brothers truck. Initial start up same problem....Guess I just have to keep trying to deal with Volant to get this solved.

 

Can they send you a other one free of charge ? Maybe you have a defective product.

Not sure what they can or will do. It's hard enough to get an answer back from them....They say "we are testing a 2011 5.3 Silverado" and have this issue sometimes. I guess they don't have a fix for it?

 

 

EDIT : 3/13/12

 

First start up today it was 64 outside, truck still choked out when first started........

Man.....that is a lot of good information that you are sharing! Sorry it has been such a rough road for you. I will do a search for all of your other posts to follow along. I swapped my Volant from my 2009 (with no issues ever in 70,000 miles) to my 2011 and it occasionally throws a rich code for both banks. This may happen within 30 miIes of resetting, or 3,000 miles. I have done a different MAF, a throttle body spacer, cleaned off plastic flashing around edges, etc. with no help. Daniel did send me a new rubber adapter for the throttle body, but I used the old parts for the rest of the kit. I did notice that the rubber bellows fromt the tube to the airbox seemed just a little too short, as it would pop off at times. After a few adjustments, this has not happened at all.

 

Thanks, I will post up if I find anything.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
