Installed SRI and something is strange...

[makasu]

I just installed the SRI in my aTx P5, everything is tightly fastened but i don't know why when i start my car it seems to sound like its struggling, also when my car is not moving in the drive gear and foot on brake, the brake shakes constantly. Feels like light ABS, is it normal?

Feels a bit stange when my car is idle on D and when I step on gas...

HELP!

Try reseting your ECU (computer). Disconnect the neg. battery cable, step on the brake a few times, wait perhaps 5 min (not really necessary), reconnect.

Check the PCV hose and make sure it's connected.

You could also try to disconnect your battery to reset the ECU as well.

what is the PCV hose? The one from the engine to the intake? It is if thats the one... How does resetting the battery affect the shaking of the brake pedal?

Thanks, I am new at modding and such...

also make sure your temp sensor is plugged in, and your MAF is not backwards.

Is the second piece the elbow? And how do i fix that? What is it hitting?

when I had my sri I put a piece if stirophome below the filter and the shaking went to a minimum, or it wasn't as noticeable. I have pics at home I'll post

This is a biggie.

here's a pics of the problem area. Check to see if yours are dented up.

It's definitely hitting the master cylinder in that pic above -this is what's causing the shaking when your foot is on the brake.

Why are all these people having problems with SRI's on the P5....?

 

[Rosshole]

I have a SRI and it fits perfectly...

 

[nonameheroes]

i had the same problem in my sedan...but i fixed it by shortening the elbow piece by 1" closest to the throttle body.

 

[CTpro5]

Mostly only the auto. version that's having problem

ya, when I took my sri off, I looked under there and it almost made a hole through the intake. I"m glad I went with a CAI with a rubber elbow
