Hey guys first off happy new year ! So a friend of me gave me a cone air filter thats replacing the airbox not a cold air intake or anything i just wanted to try for the noise but when i fitted everything the cars starts but immediatly stalls... How can i make that happen without huge mods ?

Thanks

 

Anyone ???

 

When you took the airbox off, did you cap the vacuum line from the VFAD to the TB?

 

You may have to flip this picture around on your mind if you have a RHD.


Also, you have a picture of what you are doing? The VFAD cap may not be your only issue.

 

My first thought was ... Did you plug the maf back in
Shrug

Pics would be very helpful

 

Well i took the whole airbox out with the sensor off and stalling... Pluged the sensor back in and clogged the box so not too much air can get in and still stalling trying without clogging it also still no results . Im not that good in this kinda stuff so if u can explain with no so "technical terms " would be great do i just need to move the sensor back behind the cone filter on the small soft plastic tube ? Thanks

 

Sorry but I don't understand what you are trying to describe.

A picture would be really helpful.

 

yes, well the tube should be hard. something like this 3" MAF Housing - Billet Aluminum-for DENSO Element : atpturbo.com

 

^^^ no not even something like that, that MAF housing is the wrong diameter. It needs to be the same as stock which has an inner diameter of 3.375".

From your post it sounds like you removed the stock air box along with the MAF and just threw a filter on the throttle body. You cannot do this, put in simple terms the MAF or Mass Air Flow sensor measures how much air is going into the engine and allows the cars computer to calculate how much fuel is required. Your car will run like **** or not run at all without this sensor, put the stock air box back in and get rid of what ever your friend gave you. Or go buy a proper aftermarket intake for your car like the AEM/MS intake or the Racing Beat Revi Intake.

 

^listen to KMA

 

yea like i said it was just to try how it would sound ... if i buy that k&n intake will it be bolt on for the MAF ?

 

In all seriousness - Reinstall your stock intake. Problem Solved.

 

already reinstalled because the car stalled everytime otherwise

 

Do not try to mod the car without knowing what you are doing. Spend some time and educate yourself first. Intakes, midpipes, exhausts are things discussed a lot on this forum. Just do your search, read, and then decide if you want to do it or not. Further, there are a bunch of youtube videos that could give you an idea of how things sound.

 

Search "intake screen".

 

Poor car.

 

Indeed. Happy Noob Year.

 

So don't do it unless you want to put some effort into getting good at it !!!!

 

Poor car indeed
