Arrow car shut down????

I just had my crank, sway bars and a intake installed on my 05,G35. So naturally I wanted to test out the difference with everything installed...so I was running my car kinda hard for a couple of gears and I had the C.E.L, the battery light, oil light and the emer. brake light all come on. The power steering went out as well, so I turned the car off at the next light and waited like a minute to turn it back on and when I did it appeared fine. Keep in mind this happened last night and since then I havent had any problems.

I havent the slightest clue as to why this happened ....but any insight would be great

Try resetting the ECU if you didnt after you installed everything.

what kind of intake do you have? is it cold air intake? Some people have that kind of problem with cold air intakes.

Ill try and reset the ECU and see how that works

It's the AEM, and a reflash isn't going to resolve the issue. The problem with some of the Cold-Air Intakes have been idle-qaulity issues and, more importantly, a run-down condition where the revs drop too low and stall the car. The run-down issue will show itself when slowing to a stop or otherwise dropping the RPM to a near-idle point. Search and you should find a wealth of info on this... ...if you need any more info. on it. The Injen seems to be the CAI of choice as it gives a decent power increase and, most importantly, doesn't exhibit the run-down/stall and idle-qaulity issues.

I also heard that the cold air intakes aren't good for the G-35, that the z-tube and pop charger are the best and only way to go for positive power gains
Is this true?

I've had them both and currently running the Injen CAI and love the way the car responds.

Both are nice, but I'll stick wit the Injen
