engine stalling
I just had my 8 air intake change, the red colour k&n autoexe induction box.
my car keep stalling at light since then, my mechanic said it could be the battery.
but my car still keep stalling at traffic light after hours of driving which are really embarassing &annoying & dangerous.
engine is not cranking & can easily start.
what could be the causes?
idle at 750rpm,oil press 1.0kpa

Honestly, remove the intake ... go back to stock
Otherwise .. check the maf and maf screens
Get a new mechanic

here the picture of the induction box. its just a minor change to the stock induction box.
so, should i go back to the stock one?
I'll post a video tomorrow.
im so frustrated with this situation, and i cant sleep well LOL
.
I cant blame my mechanic because he seems doesnt know much about rotary.
I dont think any mechanics here know about rotary because i live in a small town. LOL

how u could be so sure?
my 8 works fine before the installation.
and im very sure 100%, its got nothing to do with the engine.
and i forgot to mention, radiator, rad. hoses were changed too with the intake.
its start to stall at light when i fully pressed the clutch the battery light appear and stall after that.

still stalling, i think its not the battery.
must be something wrong about the intake.
just got back from redlining, and felt the power loss.
it took much longer than before to reach redline..

I got this from my mechanic (Sammy at Stillen). I don't know where he got it or how nobody here has ever seen it, but this works every time for me and its so simple. THERE IS NO NEED TO DRIVE AROUND FOR HOURS OR DAYS TO FIX THIS, it only takes like 5 minutes.
and that's all folks, as easy as it gets.
