Upgrade problems...

[dane_aero]

So, i installed a CAI in my 2001 tib. Right after installing it my car started to idle a lot lower than before, it even stalled on me a few times while in neutral. So i went and got a better cone filter, thinking it wasnt getting enough air. That didnt fix the problem. Then i installed some OBX 4-2-1 racing headers, and it still runs like crap. So yesturday i put the stock intake back on, now it still idles way lower than normal, but it hasnt stalled yet. There is also something wrong when i try to accelerate, it kicks like its misfiring. I ordered new spark plugs/wires just in case it was that, but i am pretty sure it isn't. If anyone experienced the same problem and knows how to fix it please let me know.

I know im still somewhat of a n00b but, did you reset your ecu after you did the installs? I ask because i didnt know about reseting my ecu and right after i installed my CAI my car idled low and blew out smoke. So i shut it off read up on it and learned about resetting the ecu. After doing so it ran fine.

[dane_aero]

Yeah, i reset the ecu three different times. Nothing worked. I am really hoping its just a bad spark plug, i am going to replace the plugs/wires tomorrow.

[dane_aero]

I installed the new plugs/wires, and it is still running the same. If one of my o2 sensors is bad would it be making my car run like this?

just out of curiosity... is everything nice and tight... and did you remove and re-install the Mass Airflow Sensor facing the right way?

[tibby01]

wheres your intake air temp. sensor?

[dane_aero]

I am prety sure i attached the mass airflow sensor the right direction, and my intake temp sensor is on the filter box.

[Mad-Machine]

well, there is an arrow on the body of the air flow sensor.. it points towards the intake manifold.

Yeah, it's your MAF pointing the wrong way. This gets asked here about 2 times a month. We've got pics of what it SHOULD look like at RDtiburon.com
