There's two lines to connect right? I'll have to check the one hooked up on the ztube. Maybe I didn't put it on right.

Now its raining won't be able to fix this until tomorrow. I checked the connector by the air box. Was fine. So tomorrow I'll take the intake tube off n check out the connection there. I hate how they put it under the tube. So that would be the only thing causing it? Weird it ran great shut the car off the hour later I got problems.

Wow!!! Now I need my car towed! Can't be the intake. Everything is connected right. I can't even push the gas pedal. Car wants to stall.. this is crazy. Friend thinks its the throttle wire.

It's been a few days now, did you ever figure it out?

I would just put everything back to how it was and see that helps. Maybe the MAF was damaged somehow. Or you have it installed backwards.
