put everything in correctly..but when you fire it up for the first 10 seconds its fine..then the engine just boggs down...im thinking this might be that the map sensor needs pressed in more..any ideas?

 

2.2l tb or 2.4l tb ???

 

LoL If I knew I'd help you bro, but I have no clue. Tom any ideas?

 

hmmmm i just installed mine yesterday and didnt have that but weirdd this might sound crazy but maybe do it again? take it back apart quick(doesnt take too long) and reassemble making sure you did everything, and did you make sure the battery was unplugged when you did it? i forget where i read it someone correct me if i am wrong but i thought you need to not only for safety but so the air flow sensors could readjust or something?

 

It's a 2.2 TB

 

if he bought an intake mani with tb on it then he is having prob and in need of a tune, if he bought the adapter plate and using his 2.2 l throttle body then ....i would start with reseting the maf

 

Yeah possibly, but I never heard of that.

 

did you unplug the battery when you installed it?

 

yea i would say unplug battery then retry

 

check for vacuum leaks

 

When I installed mine I replaced the break booster hose. In the process I damaged the seal were the hose connects to the master cylinder. That caused the vacume leak for me. But nothing a little super glue couldn't fix.

 

thanks for all the advice guys..and no i didnt have the battery off...also after doing this header/dp when it first starts up and i drive it its like it wants to go into limp mode for a few seconds then its ok..should i just unplug the battery and reset the ecu

 

diconnect the battery for a few seconds, then when you start it let it run idle for a few minutes before you drive it to adjust, doesnt have to be too long.....when i did mine i started it, ran inside and showered and stuff real quick then came back out for the test drive(and what a nice test drive that was)

 

would u need to disconnect for the header/dp too..kinda weird how it always does it now when i drive it

 

hmmmm idkk possibly with the 02 sensors on there id suggest doing it anyways just because

 

I never had that problem with the headers. make sure you got no leaks and I'd reset the ecu.
