Make sure you hooked the battery back up, or that the terminals are tight if the car does nothing at all, if it is not turning over/running, make sure you hooked your MAF back up.

There are several hoses that you may be referring to:

1. the front valve cover breather hose
2. the hose from the intake to the IACV
3. the vaccum line from the intake

I think those are the only ones that you need to disconnect to pull the intake... which one are you talking about?

I think you need to post in the regional forums and get someone to come over and help you out - maybe for a small fee. Also, please stop typing like you are on a teen forum chatting with your friends. This is not an instant messaging forum.

Look at pictures of a stock engine,like in Chiltons/Haynes or somewhere here on the org and make sure your midpipe (the one right before the throttle body) is installed properly.

i don't know if this be da tube they be talking bouts, but there be a tube runnin from da intake to da back of da mota, kinda beside da Throttle postioning sensor. Make sure that be hooked up dawg.



the blue circle is where the hose starts. Your intake might be different but make sure that hose is connect or the car alot of time will not start up. Make sure you Mass air flow seonsor is plugged in(but it should start without it being pluged in).



i do not care if she is girl i though i was a bad typer but that is just fu<king ridiculous.........

make sure all the clips are on tight. when i installed my CAI i had someone attach all the tubes with the clips back on for me.. i didn't know that the person was a reckless fool leaving one tube barely hanging on.. and after driving about 5 feet my car turned off because a hose blew off the piping it was supposed to be attached to due to pressure.

also if the "small tube" you're reffering to, make sure its on "tight"... i think i know what you're talking about and it takes a little force to get them back on.


- good luck.

how about if you just try and instal the CAI again? it's probably easier than stock. and if not, you can post on here again and get some help.

The car should start without the IACV hose plugged in, I think that's what you're pointing to. Mine came disconected at Target once and the car started and tried to idle, but couldn't so it died. Scared the hell out of me, thought something bad was wrong.
