car just shuts off?
i dont know if this has any thing to do with my problem but i recently cleaned my intake out really well and got a bunch of grim and dirt out of it, but now when i get on the highway and start exiting off an on ramp i put it in nutral and coast and somtimes my car will just shut off, i dont know if cleaning the filter has anything to do with it. all i do is start it right back up and it runs fine, i have the ur pully installed on this would that be the cause? somtimes my battery light comes on durning heavy acceleration, maybe a slipping belt? any input would be greatly appriciated
thanks,
andrew

You might know the answer to this. How lond does it take the ECU to "learn" the motor again after you reset the ECU. Reason I ask is I just put on a Gen2 Stillen CAI yesterday and disconnected the battery while doing the work..

i do have quite a bit of mods, almost everything but a fi kit, only problem with getting my car tuned is finding a place to do it, im in bfe kansas lol and i have no clue were any performance shops are around here, only one i know is 5th gear and no body around this area trusts his work cause he has messed so many peoples cars up.. how much would you say the ecu plus tune would cost?

so instead of driving to tx or ga i could get the tuner kit and then have them etune it via email? or would you recommend going to a shop to have it done? ( please dont think of me as a retard, just exploring all of my options)
