K&N Air Filter

I just installed my K&N Typhoon intake, and now the car is being jumpy and almost dying, almost as if there is no filter at all, I have noclue what to do, I tihnk there might be a leak around the MAF sensor, but I'm unsure, because I tightened the screw beyond belief.

So did you reconnect the harness before or after resetting the ecu?
Are you still experiencing problems?

how long have you had the car idling for?
When I used to reset my ecu, it'd take a while before the rpm would settle.

Drive it around for a few clicks and see what happens.

Have you damaged the honeycomb looking thing at all during installation?

When I have it in park, the rpm go down, and my headlight look like they are about to shut off, and the first time, the car turned off. I never damaged it, and I've been driving it, and it's been alright, until I just got to work, and my car started up again

Your problem is the typhoon system. Its the worst intake you can put on an evo or a lancer. A k&N filter is perfectely fine,but the intake tube(typhoon) is a piece of junk. Take it off and just use a drop in filter in your stock air box and your car will run like its suppose to PERIOD!

assuming the typhoon system is junk... I'd keep the filter and hook it directly on the maf.
