Alright, car is an 05 auto, just installed an rrm sri (UDP is the only other mod). So after the install I let it idle for about 10 min then take it for a 15-20min drive the let the ecu learn it. Came home, parked it, and everything was fine.

Then I wasnted to play around with it a little more so I take it out again, 45 minutes of fun go by flawlessly. Then the trouble starts, from a dead stop up a small hill full power and all the sudden i'm not giving it any power,(pedal is down the same but no power) so I let off and get back on it not so hard it comes though a little choking, get to the stop sign and it sputters and dies on me. So I start it up again, choking a little but comes back to life and i'm on my way, try another full power from a stop and it's fine. Then about 5 min later I go to turn around, put it in reverse and it dies; start it up, put in drive, DIES; start up again, rev high, let it settle, go for drive, DIES; start again rev to 2000 for about 25 seconds, let it settle and put it in drive, she starts going. I get to another stop (4 blocks later) sign and I can hear the car sputtering, but shes still good, make another turn (5blocks later) and she dies again. Start it up and make it the rest of the 7 blocks to my house no problem, waiting for the garage to open and it dies, start up, try to pull forward and it dies.

So, now it's in the garage, open the hood to check everything and it all looks good, the car idles at 800 like it's supposed to but sounds like it's not getting the air it needs and is just sputtering.

I have no idea what the problem is, I really need help on this.

 

there waS a thead recently about something similar...
i think it was to do with too much oil on the filter or something...
just search it up coz im tired atm...

 

and just double cheak all conections and re cheak all parts
you will find it

 

possible the MAF sensor isnt on their right.

 

Your MAF aint installed right, or theres a big air leak after the MAF.

There should be any other reason for the behaviour of the car

 

I looked at that already but it did'nt help me.


Yep found the problem, the inner center cap for the cone filter came out and jammed itself in the sri pipe... so simple, yet blocked so much airflow that it made the MAF hate me.

Thanks for the help guys!
