I put an intake on my 99 maxima, it idles fine but when I give it more gas it seems to bog down really bad and will kill the engine, I hooked in all the hoses and the wires from the stock intake also. What would cause my car to do this.

 

Check to make sure that you plugged the MAFS back in. That is the black pipe (that goes between your intake box and resonator) with the little box on top of it. Chances are you unplugged this and forgot to plug it back in. How did the install go, were you rough with any of the parts?

 

I think that broke the mafs unit when i was taking it off of the original, i'll try a different one and see what happens. The install was not to hard it just bugs me that it did not work like I had planned. I'll keep ya posted on what hapens, thaks for the reply.

 

my check engline light came on...everything is fine and shi*t sounds mean, but that annoying orange light comes on.

 

This happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I put my JWT intake back in. I pulled out of the driveway and when I put it in drive my car stalled. It kept stalling. I pulled back in and checked the connections. The plug that goes to the MAF was not plugged in all the way. I push it in till I heard a click, turned the car on, and no problems since then .

 

thats not good

MAF == $$
Well, I just got one from the junkyard for $50

BTW things never work out as we plan... thats how its meant to be! When I was putting on my first intake I needed to make a trip with half a intake to home depot to buy some damned screws and nuts for the adaptor...

 

Take it to Auto Zone, they will run the codes for free.

 

I replaced my MAF and that fixed my problem. The car runs and sounds good but i'm not sure if i want to keep the intake on or not, I cant tell if I have gained or lost power, it seems to be about the same, but it sounds better than in did.

 

I'm glad that you fixed the problem. I put my stock intake back in tonight, just got back from the test drive. Second time putting it back in a month . I think I like my car to be more on the quiet side now. I put in a K&N OEM style panel filter that goes in the stock air box, car feels good. I may sell my JWT pop charger. I don't think that there's too much of a difference between my pop charger/y-pipe combo and the K&N/y-pipe one.
