turn the ignition off.. turn it onto the on position with the clutch down and press the brake pedal rapidly until you see the oil guage needle swing from low to high... see if that fixes it!

living the dream,

I was wondering did you get the misfire after installing the AEM?

Recheck the TB cap, they fall off.

Then use a soap spray or wd 40 and check for a leaky cap.
Check to make sure ther isn't an air leak at the tube connection

The misfire could have been caused by the vibration from the AEM intake. Try and disconnect the knock sensor and see what that does for you.

More than likely the intake screen (s) have moved and are the issue.
