Ok I've installed intakes b4 and now I just installed my R2C intakes and now the car threw a CEL and does not rev past 1000 rpm it just dies each time. I reinstalled it all to check for loose hoses and all is in place and tightly secure. WTF could this b? I tried to leave battery disconnected to reset and it still just dies . Idk what else to do but I installed R2C b4 and never this issue. What could it be???

Are both MAF sensors securely plugged in?

How long did you leave the battery disconnected? 2-3 minutes isn't enough, try half an hour to reset the ECU. If you can still use the auto-up/auto-down function on your windows it means your ECU was not reset.

ok i unplugged neg battery to reset over night lets see if this works. Regardless does it make sense for the car to bog down and shut off after intake install? this has never happened to me after 3 prior intake installations.

yes both were rechecked and they are plugged in correctly.

Is the MAF in backwards as in the flow is going the wrong direction?

i dont think so because the way they drop in they line up w holes , i tried flipping them but the holes did not line up so i guess only one right way to put in .

i still dont FN understand how this cause from running perfect to bogging down and shutting off. it really ticks me off to go through this . i cant even rev past 1000 or it shuts off, is this what they call limp mode? does the ecu need to be reset or is this something that i need dealer to take care of??? please lmk what u guys can suggest i will really appreciate any help

Check it out after a proper reset it should be fine. I actually accidentally started my engine with no intakes on it what so ever. MAF sensors were disconnected and everything... It ran that way for 10 sec. or until I turned it off but after I put everything on it would run fine but the check engine light was on. After I reset the ECU it was good as new.

So reseting ecu should give me no CEL? Also my CDC light was on and my slip light was also on. I'm hoping those lights all go away in the
Morning.

Why don't you put the stock intakes on?

This seems very strange. After what was mentioned about maf sensors and since you stated their were no loose hoses...I don't know what else could be the culprit.

I would like to wish you good luck though, and hopefully the resetting of the ecu does the trick. What shape are your throttle bodies in?

I love the R2Cs that's y I had b4 and sold but repurchased and now I'm trying to do a simple install but gone wrong I hate those lights and more the bogging and engine shut off. Ugh nightmare.

Throttle bodies have been fully cleaned bro! I was running the car all day and had it at the track Friday. All the sudden limp mode tonight after intake install. Something went wrong I just can't figure it out.
