2004 6.0l large mouth intake

[bigmike9368]

ok I ordered my cfmplus largemouth intake. wow was I excited....
I was unaware of what was ahead of me.
I didnt know about the throtle plate under the stock elbow I had to take out. Seems only on the 2004 does it actually fuction (lucky me). So I called cfm and they said ummmmm....
Away heres my problem When I unplug the to wires going to the throtle plate I got a check engine light. I got a (p0487) SO I pluged it back in and left the whole thing sit on top of my engine and drove alittle. now I have no light. How can I do away with the throtle plate and not get a check engine light?

ok depending on your build date you may be in good shape. I had to ake my cfm kit off and return it. caused a lot of issues with my 2004. I went with the accufab elbow. alot less money and works great. Take alook at the throtle plate under your elbow. If it has 2 wire harness going to it your going to have the same issues I had. Some 2003 the plate is there but it has no wires(it doesnt function) If you have ni wires then you can remove the plate no problem. If you have the wires and still want to do the cfm install you have to get a SCT tunner and have a custopm program done. Over $800........

None of this makes any sense to me lol I have an 04 with throttle plate and cfm intake elbow. No issues here but who knows lol

Im concerned about this now i was going to install an 05 and up elbow with a boost port, i have the throttle plate assembly but there is no throttle plate, it has a wire harness to it, so i will try running it unplugged to see what it does before i purchase.

why not just unbolt the plate and leave the sensor hooked up most recommend removing the throttle plate on here anyways. my 03 don't have the plate or it would of been long gone because my egr is and it works with the egr. i could be wrong but ive read tons of posts saying to just unbolt the plate. from what i see the cfm large mouth just bolts on top of the throttle body if you call it that and shouldn't affect it either way.

Remove the throttle plate. I don't know anyone that has the throttle body on their truck that still has the plate installed. Remove it and toss it.
