Installing a different intake system will alter the air/fuel mixture ratio. In a fuel injected car, if the computer is working correctly, the oxygen sensor will recognize the higher level of air intake, and adjust the ratio by adding more fuel. On a carbureted vehicle, you may need to make jetting changes. (bump it up a jet or two). Regardless, when you alter a vehicle's stock configuration, there's always a chance for things to go awry.
AnswerInstalling a cold air intake will not let too much air into the engine. But as the above poster stated, "there is always a chance".Answer
If you concerned about it leaning out (which shouldn't happen) install an Air fuel ratio gauge and you can determine what your air to fuel is.

You will not damage your engine if you remove its cold air intake. The cold air intake system is merely added to increase engine efficiency and performance.
A cold air intake is an aftermarket part used to help open air flow to the engine. The cold air intake sucks up cold air from underneath the car and is attached to your intake manifold. So it is a pipe going from somewhere close to the bottom of the engine compartment leading to your intake manifold.
Cold air intake is better because it's denser.
The Volant Cold Air Intake Kit is used to increase cool airflow for engine performance. Cold air intake kits were specifically made for maximum engine performance and fuel efficiency.
If you mean cold air intake or cold air induction (CAI), the answer is no. A cold air intake system is simply a more free flowing air intake. The intake tubing is less restrictive, and often draws air in away from engine heat, hence the name cold air intake. This could be lower in the engine compartment by the fenderwall usually. A cold air intake will ultimately make the engine run slightly cooler. A cooler engine is less destructive to the various components. So CAI will not shorten the life of your engine when properly researched, installed and used.
Cold air intake kits are used for bringing relatively cool air into a car's internal - combustion engine. Cold air intake kits are also marketed with claims of increased engine efficiency and performance.
depending on the style of intake, and type of car you can gain up to around 20% hp
A cold air intake brings air into the engine. It usually consists of a plastic tube with a air filter on the end.
When the engine is hot .008 intake .012 exhaust or .007 intake .011 exhaust When the engine is cold
idk exact specifics, but after installing mine there is a definite notice in increased hp. i strongly suggest the cold air intake.
Sometimes you can connect the diagnostic tool and it will reset the check engine light. You can have Auto Zone or Advanced Auto connect the diagnostic tool for free.
