I was in traffic and I let off the gas and my car just turned off... and I have a automatic? What happened?!?!

 

This was your Stillen Cold Air Intake. This happened to me several times with my Injen Cold Air Intake. Not a good situation, is it.

 

daaaaaaam. Did your steering wheel lock up and what did you do.

 

ya thats ur CAI. i have a CAI too and it happend to me. did u put the car into nuteral? or did it just turn off? becasue it only happens if i put my car in nuteral from a high rpm

 

its definitely ur CAI, i have injen CAI, and it happened to me too.
the filter got loosened from the tube

 

maybe it was ur throttle body...hpnd to my friend...(garry101) cud be the CAI also...

 

wait so this is a common problem if you have a CAI? what is the cause of this and if i get a different CAI would i still have this problem?

 

I have Nismo CAI
nothing wrong so far....

 

I've read stories like this many times in the short time that I've been a member of G35Driver. The thought that my car could shut off while driving while on the highway or on an entry/exit ramp (as other members have reported has happened to them) scares the crap out of me.
i have NO plans for a CAI in the near future.

 

Did your car actually 'die', or did it go into a 'limp mode' (e.g. running but hardly any power, all your lights in the dash came on)? The 'limp mode' thing happened to me a few weeks ago, I thought the car died, all my lights came on but when I tried to re-start I realized it was actually still running. I had to pull over, turn it off, let it sit then re-start. It drove fine after that but the CEL stayed on. I took it in and had the throttle body replaced (like others here have suggested). It's a fairly well-known issue, if that's what happened to you.

 

i have a 6mt and it did it and wouldnt start up they said its from the intake and it bein so cold that it actually ends up flooding the engine if u dont let it warm up dont know if its true but it hasnt happened since

 

good advise in here.

 

the 04 AT has a recall on the fuel dilvery pumps.. mabe thats your problem.. i have an injen and its been on there for a good amount of time.. hasnt happened to me..

 

yeah, I would definitely say it couldn't be because of a CAI or short ram intake. Would that make any sense whatsoever?







no, didn't think so!!!

 

what!!! Flooding the engine? The cold air is better and puts in denser air (cold air!) (not taking air away) for your car, uggghhhh this really doesn't make sense.
