yup.. have had an aem cold air intake in it for about a yr. now... just cleaned the intake about 2 weeks ago. its never stalled on me... and it just started 2day.. that's why im thinking it's not the intake... because if it was it woulda done it within the yr it's been on....

mine went through a quick little phase where it did that for about a week, it was only when it was revved up high and push the clutch in and let the rpms fall back down. so i found that downshifting and keeping the rpms up higher would keep it from stalling, then it kinda just fixed it self a few days later.


stupid computers....

Hmmm . . . Any chance you may have gotten some water into your intake while washing your car? Just a thought . . . You might have soaked the filter by accident.

Engine Cutting Out

Does the car return to a normal idle when at a stop or is it erratic? By any chance did you remove/adjust the engine cover or were you near the firewall and hit the vacuum hose? Only reason why I ask this is b/c when I added a plenum spacer, I disconnected the vacuum hose or moved it - I can't remember. Anyhow, when I reattached the hose, I left the clamp on the hose in a clamped position that was causing the engine to almost cut out and stall. I pulled over and adjusted the clamp with some pliers while on the side of the road and haven't had any more problems since. The computers on our G's are very sensitive.

Do a search for cai and stalling. There are many people who have this problem. There is a bunch of info on this forum.
Good luck!

did you use the K+N filter charger to clean your filter? Did you spray oil on the filter? the oil can reach the air flow sensor hot wire and burn it.Very common
