You're kidding right?Should be one....maybe i sent it off 5 min ago or so.
I got that CAI box today and mocked it up. Attempted to make the hybrid K&N/CAI for the hell of it. well that didnt work so i had to put the K&N assembly all back together. Got it all togther and started it up....engine light and service traction system came up.
I took it out for very short drive around the block and it seemed to be running right and i got back home and coming down my road my car shifted into 3rd gear and it shifted hard (like unusually hard..like bad oh **** hard) Que almost pooping myself moment. I couldnt figure out why my car was doing such weird stuff. i was pretty worried. I hooked up my phone to the OBDII sensor and it read 3 codes. so i started thinking about what i could have done.
got it in the driveway popped the hood......well the maf somehow came unplugged. so i plugged it back in and no lights no engine codes and drives like a dream again
Didn't realize a MAF sensor could cause that much havoc

what's up Mike
Justin, I had to think about that one for a second, I was a little confused when you said in park....
I'm not sure if the guy that said it was in the exhaust tried turning the wheel when it was on the lift? I will try and and see if I can hear it when in park and turning the wheel! I could also jack up the front end and see if it does it then also! Thanks

justin, beer = partial payment = 
Zach, wow, I would have done the same thing, I thought you were po'd about the CAI box i sent.....
Not sure if the directions state to disconnect the battery, but everyone I've talked to highly recommends doing that before installing the CAI...

Evening everyone! 
It was a beautiful day here today. Low 80's. Even got a chance to but the grass and trim the hedges. I think this might be the last of the days in the 80's. It's supposed to drop in temps tomorrow. By thursday, we'll be lucky to hit 60.
Doh! Oops. Hopefully it went okay.
Wow. I would've pooped my pants and sweated off about 10 pounds. Glad it was something simple to fix, and that you figured it out.
