Help! my car wont idle
I bought a 97 max 5 speed with 130K miles on it last Monday. It drove fine and idle fine till yesterday when I decided to take out the stock
intake and put in a home made pop charger. The stock filter was
very dirty. I took out the square resonator box, so all I have from
the throttle body is the accordeon coupler, the MAF, the adapter
and the K&N cone filter. I drille a hole in the K&N filter rubber base and put in temperature sensor. The 2 large hoses that were connected to
the square resonator box, I put in each a breather filter.
There is a smaller hose that I think goes from the square resonator to
underneath the TB, but it was hanging loose, so I left it hangin loose.
I clean out the TB in while I had the intake out, I stuck a small
wire down the small hole right underneath the butterfly plate so
make sure nothing is plugging the hole. I took out the IACV and
clean it and also clean the TPS in the process. NOw when I started up the car, it idles for
5 seconds at 1500 rpm and the rpm starts dropping, so I rev the car up
a few times and as soon as I let go of the gas pedal the RPM drops
quickly to 0 and the cars stall. The car keeps doing that now and it refuses to idle. I have not reset the ECU yet. Does
anyone know what could be the problem?

It's probably the way you have it set up since you took out the resonator. Get a midpipe to put all the hoses into (look at the pipe thing near the bottom right of the pic http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2436768460) including that little one that I think you left hanging loose.
Good Luck!
