stand by your driver's front wheel. lean over and put your right arm down under the relatively large metal object that your CAI is connected to. do this with your palm up.

you should feel the nipple.

like he said, autozone. it's a very small cap you need. the size that would cap a fairly blunt number 2 pencil.

haha na unfortunately it didnt fit lol

but this is something weird that happened and i cant fig. out what the problem is.

im driving and im in first gear everything sounds good untill i get to about 7.5 8k and then the engine just bogs really bad and felt like it just slowed down the higher the rpm was. then the CEL started flashing....

im hoping its just the computer getting used to everything and what not because i can sit idleing and rev to 8.5 9 all day and nothing but beautiful sound but when in motion its another story...what do you guys think the problem is

disconnet your battery and connet it again. That should reset your PCM.

the cap is very tight and hard to put on. you'll think it's too small.

i don't like the way you have it now. if i understand right, you just have a capped hose hanging from your throttle body?

i guess it works, but i don't think it's the best solution.

not sure what the problem is in the upper revs. is your MAF all the way secure? try tightening the screws. and make sure all your couplings on the intake are secure.\

you might also want to check your spark plugs. it's possible you dislodged one especially if you removed the driver's side wheel when installing your intake.
