been installing mine this weekend.
currently the bumper is on the ground and is surrounded by various nuts and bolts and pins of various size and shape. but the intake is installed, and it sounds bitchin!
DOES ANYONE KNOW what to do with the sensor that went with the secondary vacuum line? it just hangs there grouped with the wires to the MAF.

you're talking about something else, kersh. that cap was included in my kit. but it was like trying to use a balloon as a condom on someone else two people away in a 40 person orgy ... not that i have experience with that ... not that there's anything wrong with that. anywho, i ended up using a cap from the stock box. not sure what it capped. seems to fit like a charm. we'll see.
i was talking about the sensor pictured in step 2J
fluid's answer sounds pretty good. i wonder if it's okay to just cut it as brettus suggested in another thread. maybe just save the actual sensor in case it's needed in the future to return to stock box.

I guess you could cut it but I would def cap it.
If you put it back to stock it puts you in a difficult situation by doing so though.

Install Sheet for the CAI
Does anyone have electronic versions of the Install instructions? The dealer installed my when I bought the car. I seem to remember a thread about some arrows we need to pay attention to when putting the screens back in. Please post a link to the thread if you know what I'm talking about.
The reason I'm looking for instructions is the dealer seems to think the stalling problems I had (I will explain below) were due to a plate that was blocking air flow. I'm thinking what you are thinking... There's a plate in the CAI? The only thing in a CAI I can think of that resembles a plate is the screens. I asked the mechanic to show me when I see the dealer tomorrow. Not sure the SM knows what he is taking about.
So if you are interested the problem I had yesterday... drove for 10-15 mins then going up hill in 3rd at about 4K rpm. Suddenly felt the power drop... car stalled. put the clutch in and tried to re-start the car. Started is turning and the car seems to start but doesn't turnover and stay running. Pulled over and tried to start again... again starts but immediately stops running when you the started stops. Let the engine cool (after 1-2 hrs) and tried again. It starts and idles really rough (bouncing between 100-1000 rpm. guessing it looks like the engine is trying to adjust to starvation... of either gas or air. Dealership says there is a plate in the CAI they had to secure. What? Huh? Plate?

https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...7&d=1240641556 did they install the vacume cap? Hoses? check the MAF sensor if it's dirty and see if they put it on right.
