Unhappy Car wouldnt go..Intake filter pops off..

Hello CL, I've searched for 30minutes for my issues and haven't found anything with the search tool..or maybe I just suck at searching..but here is my problem..

I recently installed an intake, resetted ECU. Let it idle for about 30 minutes...first the car was heavily shaking..and then once the engine warmed up, it stopped the heavy shaking. I tested drived it, everything seemed to be ok. Then when I turned off the car, let it sit for about 1hour and turned it back on, tried to gas it..it would NOT go at all, it went like 5mph even when i floored it...then when i tried to gas it little by little, my intake filter popped off, i put it back on and the car was running ok again..anyone had this problem, can anyone help me out? Thanks guys/girls!

What kind of intake did you install? I had that issue when I first installed my SRT. Turned out one of the wires was loose. Resoldered it and it was good to go.

Did you check the clamp that holds your filter in place? Maybe it is broken or loose, causing too much air to go in. I'm just guessing.

check your MAF wiring. sounds like the maf isnt hooked up properly or at all. it doesnt matter how tight the filter is on, the car will run fine w/o a filter (dont drive it like that obviously or else ur engine will be full or random crap) as its POST MAF air leaks that cause stalling.

You might also want to check your throttle body as your car has gone into limp mode.

Perhaps the TPS sensor has gone bad. There's really not much to the intake/throttle body so it should be an easy fix, but costly depending on what it is.

Sounds like the oil from the filter got on the MAF wires.
