Installed CAI & 2 days later car won't run

[AllJuicedUp]

I had installed my Injen CAI on Sunday with no problems. I drove the car about 300 miles and now the car just sputters and stalls. I have been flashed and everything else is stock. It ran fine with the new intake. It made the usual swooshing sound under boost and the turkey sound when dumping boost between gears, etc. I'm sure when I call the dealer they will tell me that its because of the CAI. Any info - please help??

Check the IC pipes. IF you disconnected the charge pipe (from the turbo to the IC) it could have come loose again. Or you have a Vacume issue. Check those, and see what ya get.

are all your hoses still connected? one might have come loose and you are venting to atmosphere instead of recirculating.

dont tell the dealer you have a CAI... sounds like a leak in your IC piping.

Put the stock airbox back on and give it a try.

Check the hoses/connectors around the mass air, if it's leaking around there it'll really run bad.

good point.. any leaks between the MAF and the turbo where the injen hooks up will cause it to run bad.

Thanks for the help everyone, It was the pipe connected to the turbo inlet came loose. I installed it again and made sure it is tight. It seems like the pipe for the BOV presses down on the intake pipe. I'm going to install new tubing with some flex in it so it dosen't press down on the pipe.
