Hey,
I just installed my Cold Air Intake tonight and i took it for a drive.
After about 35min of driving the car just shut off with no stutter or anything. It was while i was slowing down, No engine light came on before hand either. It started up straight away with no problem. I drove for another 10min and it done it again while slowing down to a round about, it just cut off but started straight back up. Then i drove it home (about 30min) and it ran fine.
Infact after it stalled the car ran 100% better and was more responsive and was running smooth. (Before it stalled about 5min before i booted it a couple of times and a wierd noise was coming from the tailshaft/tranny area it has always done it but it was more noticable tonight only when it gets around the high rpm but after the car stalled it, it no longer made those sounds and was running good. Am i tripping or did something happen to the computer that worked in my favour? LOL If it sounds like a load of **** just ignore the bit where it is running better and tell me why it was shutting off Heheh :rofl:
Anyway,
So i tell my girlfriend to give me the bobby pin out of her hair and i strip the plastic off and do a test and it came up (12 - OK) so there seems to be nothing wrong with the computer side from what it is telling me. I checked the battery and all the wiring seems all secure. It cant be a flat battery cause the car kicks over fine.
And im 100% sure i did not touch any of the wiring on the air box as i was very careful when i put the cold air intake in and double checked to make sure it was all ok.
Any help would be appriciated as i dont want to get stuck somewhere i go to holden and they rip me off and tell me my computers stuffed or something.
Cheers,
Scott
