1st gen GS3 intake on a 2nd gen GS4, that may be the problem. If the 1st gen intake works for 2nd gen with different engine, RMM probably would sell only one intake for all GS.

Make sure the mass airf flow sensor is not flipped around upside down as well. That's very easy to do, did that on my intake when I painted it and had a starting problem.
