Hey guys, I just spent the last 5 hours installing my AEM CAI and front air dam. Now that I got everything put back together, my car won't start! It clicks and lights go crazy blinking inside then nothing.

I took special care in plugging back all the electronics in correct order for this very reason.

The only thing I can think of is there is one vacuum plug which used to be plugged into the stock airbox but the instructions say to unplug it so I did. I have a picture bellow. Plus theres no where else I could plug that thing into.

Help please!!

if you disconnected the battery, make sure that it's back on and connected securely.

Update, it was my battery. I made it to Autozone and they tested it and I ended up getting a new duralast gold.

My traction control is constantly off now though.. Did I forget to plug something in ??

with the car off (key in the on position), turn the wheels all the way to the right, then to the left. then start the car. This should clear that

by the way you want to put a bolt or screw in that extra vacuum hose to plug it...

Thanks! Not sure if it was that or just having a full powered battery which made everything work right. I was so pissed because I thought I had to remove my front bumper again to check my connections. Removing my front bumper is something I will NOT be doing anytime soon! I installed my front air dam at the same time which really shows how much I don't want to do it again LOL

I plugged it with a landscaping hose plug. I felt resourceful.

Amazing what a lack of voltage will do. Isn't it.

Ya, it really freaked me out cause my dash lights were flickering like crazy. It was ironic because as I was installing everything i noticed the previous owner had just put in a new walmart battery in 2009 and I was thinking "I wonder how long that POS is gonna last". Then poof
