HELP ASAP! Installed JoeZ, now VSC, car won't even move!
#31
When I installed, I put in the sleeves first, all the way against the stopper on the both ends, than i inserted the pipe.
The best way to actually install Joez, would be to remove the top portion of airbox, but it can be done without it.
I rotated the pipe around until I found the best fit, which is pretty close to what you have. Just make sure everything fits right and feels right, can't go wrong.

JoeZ intake VSC , check engine ,TC light
Old thread guys sorry but Google brought me here . I read through this and my problem hasn't been described .
Here is what I have . Installed JoeZ intake , F-sport filter with F-sport lower air box . Everything worked fine first night . Left work next day, mid afternoon and noticed the lights came on . I didn't notice any difference in power. I came home and pulled negative terminal . That reset the lights . Took the car for a drive again and again all is well . Left work today , pretty hot out , and got on it a bit to see if would come back on , nothing . Hopped on the beltway, driving normal throttle , turned the AC on and BAM , lights came on . Won't go out unless I pull the negative terminal again . Anyone else run into these problems ? Thanks

^^ Just make sure the vacuum line hasn't slipped off the intake pipe nipple.
If it did, remove the spring clip and tighten it with a pair of pliers.. This will help it hold the line down.
If problem persists, replace with mini worm clamp.
Also, make sure all other connections are properly sealed in Airbox and Intake sleeves..

Removed factory clamp and replaced it with a screw/band clamp. I went through, checked all other clamps / connectors etc everything is tight even pulled MAF sensor and it looked clean . Reset again by pulling negative terminal . Vsc, check engine and traction light came back on again .
