hey guys, i put back a stock airbox on my 32gtr to replace my apexi pods... was all good, had to move the intercooler pipe as it was in the way.. did a test and pop intercooler pipe came off so was running pretty much didnt do anything above 3000 rpm. i fixed it again went for a drive again was ok..
then tonight i tried a hard test and i heard a *pop* so i assumed my intercooler pipe came off again.. but this time it was different.. the idle was dropping to almost 0rpm and the car was running liek sh*t altogether..
so i had to drive home with it like that as i couldnt fix the pipe at the time.. drove it about 1-2km very slowly, mates said it was blowing sh*t load of smoke.. so i checked the oil to make sure nuffin happned to it.. ive tried taking apart the airbox again and re-installing it making sure every hose clamp was on as tight as possible... i turn on the car and again sounded like sh*t but it was keeping idle this time (900-1000rpm) although it was hunting..
what could be the problem? could i have damaged my afm in the process?.. i know i accidently put pressure on the mesh but it jus pushed it in abit, didnt rip or anything, tho i highly doubt that could make a difference since it wasnt the sensor? ive made sure i plugged in the the AFM plugs properly too. please tell me i didnt fark the afm's..
ive taken this airbox on and off liek 3 times now and its pissing me off so bad as its pretty time consuming on a rb26.. so any ideas?
thanks
