Help Help Help ! Installed New Apexi Power Intake & Now Car Wants To Stall -

[DazzaDee]

Hiya people - help needed - I just installed new apexi power intake In my R33 gts-t , the car is stock apart from full cat back exhaust..

after installing - i disconnected the battery to reset the ECU and held down brake pedal to get residual power out - waited five mins then re-connected battery & afm. Took car for a drive and it keeps wanting to stall or it sounds like a car does when you are about to run out of petrol - stutters and spurts anywhere above 3000rpm - it sounds like the car is starved for air..

Please help -

It should be ok the car will run rough for a little while (about the first 15 minutes of driving) as the ecu re-learns all the settings again, also if the car wasnt warmed up before you reset the ecu the timing is immediatley retarded for cold startup

Hope this helps

Could be an airleak too.

Sounds like your silicon connections are loose. I would check over all the piping make sure you don't hear any leaks, you could try spraying something like aerostart around them, if you hear it pick up revs there is a leak.
