Post Engine Problems....!!! Need Help!!!!!!

I have a problem with my EVO.... Sometime during a stop going into nuetral.... My car will stall and sometimes shut off... All the lights in the gauges will light up and the car will be dead... I've got the HKS EIDS but did not install yet... Getting a custom tune from Al on july 30th... you think that will help... I've also heard that the MAP sensor is very sensitive... And will shut the car off sometimes... Ever since i installed the blow off valve and intake... DAMN!!!!!!!! Need HELP...!!!! Also i went to Advanced Auto when i got a CHECK ENGINE LIGHT and it said it was the TPS... BUT the cars BRAND NEW!!!!

Yes i should of and i did just before.... i'm going to try to put on the stock intake back in.... All that hassle... The thing is i ordered my BOV from this dude in Japan off of EBAY and its the kit with the ELBOW connected to the intake manifold.... I should take a picture.... It sits underneath the sway bar... I bought the recirculation kit but it won't reach.... where i'm i gonna get a hose that goes that far....??? My evo buddies also told me its the intake.... and BOV... This happened after i installed the intake.... i installed the BOV, 3 months later...

This problem happened after i only put on the intake... Will your tuning help me with this problem.... I've also asked someone from AMS that when going into nuetral say going 35mph to nuetral and slowing down for a stop.... That some sensor is telling the ecu that theres not enough or too much air, so it shuts down.... And the HKS EIDS fixes it... But the directions i found on EVO M, i haven't had the time to try yet... I also heard that your tuning with help or fix that problem.... is this true??? And i'm going to check my intake and the sensor quick... I know its the intake...!!!!!

I put all the stock intake and b.ov. back on and the car runs fine now... Would you guys think once i get tuned i can reinstall the aftermarket parts back on??? Thats about $600 down the drain....

You shouldn't have too much trouble with just the intake. The VTA is what's killing you. Although my friend is VTA, untuned, and he has only stalled out once after about 6,000 miles. With my intake, the stock BOV even recirculated is plenty loud for me. MR DV, not stock, but it's close.

Well thats the thing... It all started when i installed the intake.... Some days its fine but some days it happens (as in stalls) three, four times a day... Wierd... To dangerous.... So i put the stock parts back on and hopefully after the tuning..... I can put my aftermarket stuff back on....
