Whats up guys? Ok well get this...I took off my stock hood to put on my new carbon fiber one, but then I switched them out again so the CF hood could get clear coated. So now I'm driving with my stock hood and I notice my car is like "puttering" like an old car. By the way I have a short ram intake, so I'm wondering if its that. Well when I increase on the gas I feel a resistance and a clanking noise from the engine bay. I tried adjusting the SRI, but its the same result. Any suggestions? Help pleaseee.

 

open the hood, inspect engine bay.

 

 

I did! Everythin seems fine! I did just notice that when the clanking noise starts the check engine light blinks. I'll check the ECU

 

if the resistance is in the pedal it's because of; the throttle cables, the tb itself, or the pedal...

try reving it while in N parked and have the hood open see whats clanking. clanking is never good...or does it only happen under load?

what codes are you throwing that will probably help diaging your issues...

good luck!

 

blinking CEL usually means misfire but since urs is clanking maybe u have multiple misfires

 

maf is loose or u have a clamp loose.
Sounds like something with the vacum

 

Alright so I got a 0603 right... A sixth cylinder misfire. One of the possible reasons is an intake leak, but I completely removed my short ram and replaced it and checked for the leaks. Should I just bring it to the shop?
