when i come to a stop or even if i rev it up at idle, the rpms come down to 1k then go to 500rpm then back to 1k, it bounces a few times. i took my car to my uncles garage, he looked at it and said that the intake filter was shot and soaked with water. i have a injen sp series intake. i just bought the car and thats how it came. how can i protect the filter from getting wet? or is there anyone that is selling a factory intake? the filter is getting wet from the snow. any suggestions?

 

you could make it a short-ram.

 

how would i do that?

 

Buy one of those hydro sleeve to put over it to protect it from water getting in. Or make it a short ram.

 

how would i make it a short ram intake?

 

short ram intakes are purchased just google it a.k.a. SRI

 

With a hack saw, screw driver, and some electrical tape.

 

indeed

 

That's what I did!

 

get a hydro shield. Ill never understand a short ram intake. Sucking up warmer air from the engine bay? I dunno. 20$ shield, problem solved. Also, clean the TB

 

okay...shield it is
