k&n air intake

[blazedchimp]

ok i bought the air intake gen II from K&N and installed it correctly....it worked well for two days.....on the third day after using my ex arround town i parked it and turned it off after waiting for 10-20 mins i turned it on and and this weird noise came up it it sounded like a cow chocking on my engine...or like accelerating but its parked....


does anyone know whats wrong with this....help me out

because if i return it it will cost me the shipping and another 40 bucks for restocking fee.....

Sounds like what???
Only thing I can think of , because I did it, is not having all the clamps tight and air getting around the MAF. Caused riugh running on mine.
Good luck...

it's most likely not the kit itself; just look carefully at the install and also make sure you didn't accidentally bump or disconnect something important

I just installed my FIPK today. I'm thinking it's the hose clamp connection between the MAF and the intake tube, check that. Because of the way the brackets are made, there is downward pressure on that connection, make sure that the intake tube is on the MAF all the way, with no holes.

i tried to install it and except for one instace the noise havent came up since two days ago so hopefully it wont come up again.....

i think it came from the throtle body and maf so i tighten the clamps down....
