The air filter is a problem regardless of anything else. The OEM air filter is actually top notch, and "improving" on it only means you are filtering less and more junk is getting into the engine.


It sounds like a secondary port issue. Perhaps the actuator has failed, you have a vacuum leak that isn't allowing it to open, or it is gummed up / carboned up.
