HELP engine wont start after aem air filter install
First i checked the mass airflow sensor and it wasnt all the way plugged in so I plugged it all the way in then did an ecu reset. Now when I start the car it revs up like normal for a about a second then boggs down quickly. I cant figure it out does anyone know whats wrong?
you messed up your idle, when you start the car play around with the gas peddle and get it to the dealer they will fix the idle, takes about 5-10 min. o and make sure you take the intake off and if they ask you anything tell them you have no idea.
did you try to put the stock back on...try that and see if that works....then after try puttin on the aem agian..that might work...or check the valve cover next to the plenum...did i spell that right...see if there is a air leak around there...but good luck with that...
Nope no leak. Im pretty sure it has something to do with me initialy starting the engine without the mas completely plugged in.

If it starts and immediately shuts down I'll bet my money you either have some that's blocking airflow in the intake (although very unlikely), or more probable: faulty MAF sensor. Do you have a recently installed aftermarket intake? If so, take it out, if not, take it to the dealer.

I have taken the MAF off several times, started the car without having it plugged in. It will throw the SES light. You can clear the computer with the pedal reset method. Or if you don't know how to do that, you can pull the negative battery terminal for 8-16 hrs. I would suggest a computer reset as step one.
