Hey Guys i got a question for you, i got a 97 max and i just upgraded my intake. the filter is located behind the drivers side fan....well anyways i start my car up and i got to rev the engine and it my cars sounds like its gonna die. do you got any ideas? i unplugged battery for the night to tryn reset ecu (if that even works). any ideas would be great thanks

 

Is it an Injen style intake?

 

Make sure all of your vacuum lines are hooked back up and also any electrical plugs going to sensors.

 

Yea its probably a loose connector. Sometimes with old connectors it takes a bit of effort to get them pushed in all the way and like he said check and double check those lines and if they are good check for cracks. It started after the install so you did SOMETHING

 

Check both sides of all hoses connected to the intake and make sure your maf is plugged in.

 

Hose going IAC is not connected. Your getting unmetered air in the engine.

 

Remove the injen, thank us later.

 

its one of the resurculation hoses mine feel off in the middle of my commute to school. car stallled out in the middle of a 3 lane highway... in the left lane.

and if its the injen, there nice but they just suck up hot air from behind the fan wrappng it in a sheild or simmilar insulation will keep the air from getting to hot.

 

If you car was running fine beforehand and is only having issues after your swap, one of these previous posts is most likely gonna be correct. Start at the throttle body and work your way down checking that every hose has been reconnected and unplug and check each sensor plug for possible obstructions/poor continuity issues, then ensure each plugs back in firmly.

I never did understand why Injen put the filter in front of the radiator fan outlet. A lot of their other intake set ups for other cars are great. Like the one for the 350z/G35.

 

Thanks guys and yah it wasnt the actual injen intake but it was designed exactly like it and all my connections were tight, my friend came over with his ecu programmer and we reset up the intake and i was sucking into much air and my computer wasnt adjusting the fuel/air ratio so ended up just putting stock intake with cone filter on and worked. he was sayn it wouldnt do any good anyway all you need is the filter for these cars.
