Default need help: problem with intake I think

Ok I installed an injen short ram intake couple months ago... it was working fine... Now when im in a complete stop... About 30 seconds later feel like the engine is choking... Meanin feel like air not goin into the engine,I hear the hissing noise goin on and off, the rpm almost reach to 0 then back to almost 1...then when I putem back to neutral then to drive its ok... Then later it happen again... Not as worst though... I reinstall the intake again... Still the same situation... Any suggestion? I was thinking of recharging the filter... Thanks

Try cleaning your MAF.

The injenSR is infamous for getting the Mas Airflow Sensor dirty.

Ok... I installed the stock intake... Eci reset... Clean the maf sensor with electronic cleaner... Drove around... Died out around 10 miles... Now gotta wait about 100 more miles... Cause thats when the pattern on vsc, trac off, and check engine light comes on... Hopefully its not the intake related...

Take it to the dealer, explain the codes that you are getting, then get the problem fixed under warantee.

Looks like you flooded your purge canister. $$$! I'd take it to the dealer as well. However keep in mind that if you did in fact flood it, it won't be covered under warranty. And they will be able to tell.
