well blizzard today in NJ so i was swapping some of my interior panels (from blue to black) in the garage, and i decide to try to hook up the factory fogs i just bought...

i disconnected and removed the battery to see if i could get a better reach down there, as well as taking off the intake tube.

decided i wasnt going to mess with the crapped out bolts today, so i put everything back on, and started it to take it to the driveway....

also, everything was FINE before i put it in the garage...

when i started it after, it doesnt idle, hitting the gas makes it seem ok, but at 4k rpm it just, stops... it shakes horribly, and the engine is torqueing itself out of the car it seems... what could i have done? i didnt mess with anything!

GRRRR this ever happen to anyone and how can i fix it

thanks

The intake tube is your problem. By taking it off you created some sort of air leak after the airflow meter. Check your bolts/hoses that are hooked up and look for leaks.

I've done the same thing, so don't feel too bad. As for deleting, we might just have to keep it bumped so other's learn the same leason...
