Big scare today. Driving home from work my car backfired & then just died. It would crank but not start. "oh, poop", I said. Luckly I was close to my house & just left the car by the side of the road, walked home, ate my Wendy's & thought about all the bad things it could be. So, I walk back (5 minutes) to my car, look underneath for oil(none), opened the hood looked around for any "bad news". What do I see? The blue silicon greddy sleeve has slide of the MAF. Loosened the clamp, slide that little sucker back on, and it started right up.

LUCKY ME
It's actually been almost 1 year of trouble free TT driving!!

be safe

 

Nice to finally hear a story with a simple fix and a happy ending!

 

That was happening to me when I first started to boost higher around 13 psi, so I got t-bolt clamps and now boosting 15 psi and they have not moved.

 

After we did my tranny that same coupler blew off my MAF-car went into limp mode. Small scare, but it happens...glad it was an easyfix!

 

So true

 

same thing hapend with my TN kit the intake pipe cam loose.

 

i started laughing when you said " walked home and ate my wendys..... ha ha there is no ****ing way i could eat if i thought my car exploded.

 

ya, I was whipped from work & wasn't in the mood to even look under the car.

On a side note, I was surprised that 3 different people stopped to see if I needed help. Who woulda thunk that there were so many helpful souls out there!

 

I love stories with happy endings. I hope you continue to have good luck with your car.

 

I put the c clip on upside down on a HKS blow off valve, it blew off on the dyno at 18 psi.!! pop! big scare at first!

 

Same happened to me, you really gotta crank down on those clamps!

 

*note to self....t clamps, really really tight*

and then this smiley cuz it made me giggle..
