Stop your popping and banging - AIS pipe blocking

Hi I have looked at the link about blocking the pipe with a bolt,but I would like to know which pipe to do on the Tenere as the photo's are of the xtx. I have just fitted Leovince pipes and they back fire quite alot.

Thanks for any help
Mike

Don't forget you are a supporter & can ask these sort of question in the ASK KEV section anytime. Just make sure the bolt or blanking plug is tight in the pipe, this will get rid of the banging & popping at closed throttles

Hi Kev
Thats great I will remember about your section next time.

Cheers Mike

Hi Kev - what is to stop you just removing all of the AIS plumbing, and just blocking up the hole on the exhaust manifold? (and airbox of course).

Is there a sensor that expects some sort of signal? I presume there is a solenoid or some electrical gubbins that operates the AIS valve?

I believe it is possible to remove a similar set-up from the DRZ400S models...

Your advice is as ever appreciated,

ps. I've just answered my own question - it seems there is a diagnostic/fault code for the AIS (no.D48) if the solenoid isn't working - I wonder if it is possible to fool the system and remove all the plumbing?

i blocked mine then put a cable tie on just a notch or two on for peice of mind

Hi
Did it this afternoon found M10 allen headed bolt is nice snug fit, has cured the backfire.

Cheers
Mike

If you just unplug the AIS plug the valve remains open all the time & defeats the object. If you join the two wires you will blow something in the ECU as this circuit is not fused & needs a consumer in series to complete the circuit to keep the light off.

Nice work Mike:sunny:

Hi gang, is this the pipe you bridge into to get the vacume for the Scottoiler? If so how do you get the oiler to work if this pipe is blocked?

No it is not, you need to bridge the vacuum pipe on the throttle body.
