car runs weird after installing air intake
Guys,
I installed an after market short ram air intake in my 350z. After installation i noticed the car runs rough. specially on highway speed. I have to press gas pedal more to keep up the speed. Also i noticed that the shift has become jerky too. Should i stick to stock air box?

I unplugged the battery wire during installation. Doesnt it reset ECU? Car was revving up quickly but i felt it was moving slowly compared to stock intake. Engine was roaring like it was getting too much air but wasnt producing any power.

I hate to admit this but I had the intake on the driver's side of my HR motor flipped around. The MAF will only go in one way, but since the pipe was backwards so was the MAF sensor and the car ran exactly the way you're describing. I would try taking the tube off and flipping it around.
