Went to install the CAI on my itr last night got everything put back no prob. Car started cut right off, started again cut right off. If i gave it gas it would run but as soon as i let off it would stall. You could smell it was running really rich. I thought i checked everything. is there something i just over looked. i also have a DC sport header if that makes a difference. Please help. i can't leave my car at work another night.

 

sounds like you pinched a vaccum hose!

 

Did you disconnect the MAP and TPS sensors during the install? It is possible to switch them, and the car will run like crap if you do.

 

I went back through and looked this morning and all the sensors are plugged in and there doesn't look to be any hoses pinched. It did the same thing this morning it starts it just stall as soon as you take your foot off the gas. The only thing i can think i didn't do was disconnect the battery. and as many of these as i have done that has never been a prob. Any other suggestions would be great. I hate knowing my R is in the parking lot not running.Thanks

 

When I tighted my front upper strut tower bar I did it so tight that I pinched the vaccum hose that was between the bar and the throttle body. That is exactly what hgappened to my car. I could start it and get on the gas but as soon as I let off the idle would go down and just die.

Listen to him. Switch your TPS and MAP sensor plugs and try it. They share the same plug style and it is easy to put the wrong one back on.

 

I wish that was the prob. i only undid one of the sensors though.

 

Banana in the tailpipe??

 

Is anything blocking or clogging the AEM's filter?

 

Was that AEM CAI new?, If so it might have had some sort of packing in it and maybe got sucked up

 

Disconnect the part where the intake connects to the throttle body. Start the car up and see if that solves it. If that does not, then it is something OTHER than the intake. Eliminate one by one.

 

You left your ITR at work?

 

yeah u mite wanna get yo car towed to your house. u dont want to leave an r at work. please tell me u have a good alarm 4 it at least

 

Well I tried everything and no success and i am not leaving it at work again. I am due for the 45,000 mile service so i am just having it towed to the dealership. I have a bad feeling that i am going to get raped on the bill for this one. Luckily i have access to a work vehicle to drive. So that is one less cost. Thanks for all the suggestions.
