Whoa... my 2k3 died today... couldn't start.. WARNING!

Hey guys..

My god.. the rain was crazy today, potenza's blow goats..

Anyhow, i was driving to pick up a friend, and then at the parking lot i hit a bump... and hten my engine zonked out completely..

I freaked.. so i started her up.. again, and the idle went from 1200 to 600 to 200 and died..

I tried to hit the accelerateor but eninge died completely..


I freaked out.. was going to call towing service

When i opened the hood and to only find my frankencar intake w/ apexi filter had fallen off completely..

So i quickly bolted everything back up... and started it up.. No check engine no nothing.. car ran fine..

Got home, and extra tightened evertything..

WARNING - recheck and make sure nothing is loose!!

Guys, in case you are intersted, I played with my frankencar setup a dozen times to find teh perfect fit. If anyone is interested, I will post a pic of it. Trust me, I have seen others, and including Ed, and it was bound to happen, cause his intake was touching the hood, thus more friction when the motor was turning.
