Well, sometimes those things happen even without any mods.

Default i installed an intake for a while...

it threw the ECU off and the car was hesitating like its lungs were spasming (to put it in human terms).

took it off - car runs fine.

if it had run fine i maaaaaaaaaybe would have kept it but the intake makes the car louder and i bought a lexus to have a quiet car so i sold it.

my .02.

Too much air? Maybe resetting the ecu would have helped a bit.

I got SRT intake+ecu...works like a champ...no hesitation at all.

I Put In An Intake And My Check Engine Light Won't Turn Off - I Also Became A Professional At Disconnecting / Reconnecting The Battery.

The Car Runs Fine Though.
