I installed the cold air intake a few days ago and Im having problems. My car has died on me twice when on the highway. When Im in forth and pull it out of gear and coast to a stop it dies. Anyone else have these problems?

 

i believe your not getting enough air going through your intake..someone else had this problem i think they just changed out the filter or got a different one, i cant remember but hopefully this helps

Did you take out the foam in the bumper right in front of the filter?

Yeah I took it out per instructions.

 

Make sure everything is on tight. If i were you i would take it apart and make sure you made all the rubber parts real tight. There might be a air leak some where.

And try resetting your ECU if you haven't already done so.

I think there was a post about the K&N cold air dying on manuals too, try searching for that.

 

Ok this is now driving me crazy! We called AEM and they said there are no problems with their intakes. They said it souunds like a air leak. So I checked all clamps and everything is fine! Do you have to reset the ecu or something?

 

You dont have to...but its a helpful thing to do...I reset every 6 months or 15k miles...check your vaccuum lines too

Vacuum checked. I was looking at the DIY section and it has many ways to reset the ECU. What way is best? Thanks for the help!

 

gas pedal method is easy...just take a stop watch with you...

Well Im about done with this thing. I reset the ECU and its still doing it. I put the stock airbox back on and the car is fine now. We called AEM and they think Im crazy. They say there should be no problems. This sux!

 

Do yourself a favor and go get the injen or just a JWT or Stillen cold air box...

I wanted the injen but here in cali the CHP are arseholes! They pop your hood and ask look for aftermarket stuff then tow your car. The AEM is ok for cali, thats the only reason why I bought it. This is stumping me, its just a intake. How can it make the car run like [censored]?

 

JWT Popcharger is CARB certified I believe.
