Hey NEED HELP GUYS: Heres' the problem. I recently installed my CAI today well yesterday as of now. I un hooked the battery took it out of the car complete set it aside for maybe i guess for like more then 5 hours, I had to install the CAI and do other work that required me takin out the battery so when i was finally done i put everything back in the way it should plugs wires and all. and when i went for a test drive the gas felt stiff it was like i couldn't push the gas pedal down and there was no acceleration on the car at all. its like the gas pedal went to a certain point and wouldn't go down farther i couldn't push the gas down to the floor like i once had done before other times i needed too. SOO PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT THANKS!!

Check that you didn't bind the CC or Throttle cables...

Now that I think about it... a stuck cruise control cable would probably keep the pedal down and not the other way around...

The CC cable runs about parallel to throttle cable and it comes from the unit in front of (approx) the brake master cylinder...

Try opening the TB by hand in the engine compartment... and see if it opens freely... if it does then the thottle cable maybe jammed somewhere...
