they should be connected correctly. and the air filter is new but on top of the air box is a metal plate over top of the hole of the air box with very little room for air to get in could that be a problem?

 

Not sure, you could do the airbox mod for more airflow and sound

 

or do you think its not that simple of a thing if i give it more air that it would fix it or you think its a bypass valve or solenoid

 

could be your bypass, could be a cracked line .... would love to see wat the AFR is on this bad boy lol

 

I'm not familiar with lsj's but what is this metal plate restricting air...Does it look like a walmart mod or OEM stock?

 

Sounds like your setting knock or high ait so it's pulling timing.
Your boost valve could be bad.

 

the metal plate was restricting the air flow and its OEM stock part it only had about an 1/8th of an inch gap for the air to get in so I took that metal plate off and it boosts 12psi now.

 

WTF are you talking about ?

Im going to LMFAO if you took your TB apart lol

 

Sounds like something wasn't install correctly, a stock part shouldn't restrict airflow that much. Any pics of the piece and location?

 

bahahahaha

 

no it has nothing to do with the tb it was down in the bumper where the stock air box is and on top of the oval opening a metal plate was on top of that opening and restricting flow.

 

So you cut out your maf sensor?

 

soo im assuming someone put a metal plate over it to keep water from getting in lmao ... wata moron.

by oval you mean the 4 sided opening all the way to the left of the picture, where the air is sucked in ?

 

no I took the metal part off for the air box opening the oval opening. yes yellow but it wasn't attached to the air box it was screwed to the head light mount hovering over the opening and I took it off and now the car works properly

 

Picture of it?

 

Sounds like some mount from a previous intake

 

no our intakes are hydrolock heaven, it was most likely on there to prevent water from entering the intake.

not that the stock intake has that issue though. The aftermarket intakes are more prone to sucking in some water if a hydro shield is not installed.


but glad you figured it out, now get a zzp 3 incher

 

I kinda figured it was aftermarket, I do know its a huge problem with the lsj's someone local to me got really really lucky when he sucked up some water in his lsj.

 

 

 

idk what the **** that think is lol

 

I don't know either no one else has or had that part on top of the oval opening of the airbox?

 

nope. and based on the craftsmanship, some one made that lol

 

That looks like ghetto ass home made I don't want my kid beating the **** out of the car so I'll restrict the intake

 

haahahaha looks like a mini frying pan lmao ... prbly weighted 5lbs lol


hahaha poor car ... getting horse **** fuel trims and AFR
