hey everyone, well i have heard about the people with the pop chargers installed on their Z's some have had no problems at all, but some have said that at high speeds when they put it into netrual and coast to a stop that the car has stalled out on them. well this happend to me today getting off of the freeway, next thing i knew as i was turning to get off of the freeway it was harder then heck to turn my stearing wheel, i at that point that realized that my car had stalled out and i pulled off to the side and started the car and everything went normal. (as a side note i had just got done running my car fairly hard) I have had the pop charger installed for about two months now with about 800 miles on it. I know that I have it installed properly. Hmmmmm well does anyone have any experience with this? has this happend to anyone else more then just one time?


well thanks in advance for any input.

 

Have been running pop charger for 2 years with zero problems. Very careful not to put too much oil on filter. Too much oil may cause your maf to malfunction.

 

yeah ill be sure to do that but i havent even cleaned it yet havent had it long enough lol. im not to worried im sure its somthing that wont really happend often if ever again.

 

Mine stalled too when I get off from the freeway at first. All it was a loose clamp that I didn't tighten down on the intake. Make sure all the bolts are tightened down and torqued to specs cause its a possibly a vacuum leak. Ya, it could be oil in the maf sensor, but it your filter is new, then I doubt it.

 

My stalled on me once, that was couple months ago when I had it on. My car didn't want to turn on again afterwards, had to tow it to the dealership to refresh the ecu. But after that, I never had any problems with it, worked great.

 

thanks guys im going to recheck my work.

 

aaahhhh haaaaa!!! i popped the hood to see my damn filter sitting on the heat shield it fell off!!! haha anyhow thanks guys!!

 

^ make sure that doesn't happen again, you don't want dirt going into your intake.

 

Not to be a dick or anything but your car malfunctioned and ya never popped the hood till recently? dude the Z needs more attention than that seriously tho everynow and then you should check the bolts and stuff just incase any come loose etc.

 

i have a question....
popcharger is a cold air intake right?
and im trying to convice my dad to buy one...
what r the advantages, i heard it gave better mpg and better throttle response(true????)
thanks
