Question:

Cold air intake on a 96 Accord? Reset computer?

I am thinking about getting a bombz racing cold air intake for my 1996 Honda Accord. I plan on instaling it myself. Will i have to reset the computer? Will i have to take it to a Honda shop? Or what do i have to do because i always hear about people who install one and have their check engine light go on. thanks!

Answer:

it's kinetics, not thermodynamics in this case. big bang nucleosynthesis lasted a few minutes only, and all the while pressure and temperature were falling. there wasn't time to produce significant amounts even of carbon, let alone iron. perhaps we should back up a step. before big bang nucleosynthesis, there was a mixture of protons and neutrons, which are the most stable of their kind. they didn't form heavier nuclei because the temperature was too high, nuclei were destroyed as soon as they were created.
1. Your car HAS a cold air intake from the factory. Go look at it. If you can't figure out why it's a cold air intake, you shouldn't mess with your car anyway. 2. An aftermarket intake does such a tiny amount of difference, that no, you don't have to reset the computer. Really. It basically does nothing. The car won't notice it in the slightest. Nor will you. Or your 1/4 mile time. It's a total waste of money. Those who install one, and get the CEL, installed it improperly. It's not hard to do, but there are a lot of idiots out there.
Got to any auto parts store. Buy a K N drop in filter. Done
Hydrogen is a very simple molecule, as stars where formed and the started use the hydrogen for nuclear the energy they do build up iron in their cores. Also I believe the 4 forces of the big band gravity electromagnetic strong and weak nuclear forces had something to do with can't be sure though.
Because hydrogen is easier, one proton. On electron. It gets no simpler (well except quarks and well you know). And iron is harder to create, it takes more heat and pressure
