hey guys. i am new to posts but have been checking out this site for some time now.
i took my first road trip from los angeles to las vegas over the last weekend. i have a 2004 velocity red 8, and love to drive the thing. i was driving about 80 when i stopped at a fork in the road. upon stopping i noticed a very rough idle, then the engine died. i started her back up and put her into first, she crawled over to the side of the road, then died again :confused: . i let her be for a little bit then started her back up, the rest of the trip was perfect, no problems. a couple days later the same thing happenes, but this time i was doing 40. the only mods i have put on her was the k and n intake, nothing else. the cars got 4000 miles and has never done this before. this happen to anybody else?

Does this mean there are now different Flashes for different areas in 2005 cars??

the k&n screws with teh airflow over teh MAFS causing incorrect signals. get rid of it and put the stock back on.
