disconnect the negative battery and then reconnect wait about 30sec - 1min then reconnect your radio will need to be reset and all... that will reset ECU....

 

Oh. That I already did and it allowed the rpms to get up to 4500 rpms before the throttle would drop off and rpms started to dive.

 

Can you post a pic of how you had everything installed with the short ram?

 

There u go. That's a pic I took about a week and a half ago I believe. Before it started acting up tuesday night.

 

That hose goin to the intake pipe, push it on as far as it will go. Maybe even throw a small clamp or ziptie on each end. You don't want it leaking there. The wires and plug for the MAF, are they pulled tight? Cut the plastic if you need to around the main wires to get more slack. Maybe go under the MAF if it's shorter distance. Make sure gasket is good and tight on the MAF. My guess is either you're leaking around a coupler or your MAF. Or your wires are loose in the connector. Or even the MAF is ready to
**** the bed. Take some starting fluid, and spray it around the couplers and the hose for the valve cover. If you're leaking air, it would be between MAF and throttle body

 

I will try to pish it in and try some clamps. They are pulled tight on the stock intake. The gasket should b tight. But why would the MAF work on my stock intake and not the sri if it was bad?

 

That's why I think you're leaking in air after the MAF. But make sure your wires have some slack. It's not good for them to have stress on them

 

You didn't clean that filter or anything did you? Wad it brand new when you installed it?

 

I will tomorrow im at work now. Could it even possibly b the filter? That's the only thing the two don't have in common. But now when I first start my car, the rpms go to about 500 rpms possibly lower amd try to kill the engine but if I rev it a couple times the car runs perfectly fine

 

I just pulled the filter out of the box it was in. Wasn't dirty except for a few spots where it looked like some dirty fingers touched it

 

I had the same issue when I went turbo and removed my piggy back, forgot I cut the wire for MAF. Is the engine light coming on?

 

I'm not positive on the engine light because I have a light on because of my second o2 sensor has cut wires because I couldn't get the o2 sensor off when I was doimg my exhaust

 

Yeah try it tomorrow and make sure you have no leaks and your plug is snapped in all the way. And wires have a little room to breathe. If you're getting air in that isn't before the MAF then you won't be getting enough fuel

 

Are the wires still cut on your o2? That could be the problem right there. Your ecu is probably going insane trying to adjust for unknown values and a sri

 

I crimp connectored them back together, but I think after a real spirited drive in some deep snow yanked one loose. I haven't been able to get up under the car since then because the car sits low and I haven't had a chance to have a jack because I don't own one yet...
