I made my own intake but only problem im having is my car wont start sometimes and i would have to push the maf sensor plug in then after she cranks ill drive it about 2500rpm in 1st gear and its start makin a poping sound out from the intake i made a cold air intake should i just change it out and make a short one to avoid water getting in my motor or leave it?

 

the 2500 rpm is a sign that you messed something up with you MAF...you mean push it in like its not plugged all the way in? it should click in and be a b!tch to get back off... it prob has nothing to do with your intake,.. the car is not reading any air flow because of the sensor not beingplugged in.. idk if that helps good luck..

 

thats the thing it dont wana stay pluged in i dunno wtf it is but it everytime it snap in tight but it still come loose so what im gonna do is tape it down or glue it till i get to the dealership which is about 40 miles out :| or maybe find another max and cut the wires and re wire mine with a new plug can i buy the maf sensor plug new?

 

don't worry about the water.
how low did you make the piping go?

 

right beside the tranny it almost sits right next to it about a inch off it to be on point

 

 

Is the MAF sensor backward?

 

 

did you break the clip? it should just clip back in.. yeah, i say just tie it down with something in the mean time till you figure something out

 

yea the clip broke..lol thats my next step os zip ties thank yall for the comments and all it help out alot.... and as for others posting on this thread...thanks for the help to.

 

What I did when something similar happened to me was purchase an old / used harness (www.car-part.com) for about 75$. Found the plug in question, cut it off/spliced back into MY car’s harness, have yet to look back.

 

that would have been helpful to mention in the first post.....
