i know that w/ the addition of an intake, the engines ecu has to 'get used' to the new flow of the air and functioning of the engine and everything; my mechanic told me that for a little while after getting my cai installed that the car would be somewhat jerky when the engine shifts from gear to gear. i have had the intake in for a while now and its still really jerky when the car shifts... is this from something else entirely or am i just not waiting long enough for my car to adjust? thanks

 

did you reset the ecu after installing the intake?

 

Check some of the posts regarding CAI installation.

this is the first time that I have heard people say that there car was jerky after CAI installation. Perhaps something is not hooked up right....Sensor?


After I installed mine the only thing I noticed was the roar of the intake at WOT. I got low gas mileage for a few days
Good luck DL

 

call me stupid, but i htought the car just 'learned' on its own how to adapt to the addition of new hardware...
