Hope this is your problem. It seems as if the cars A/F ratio is thrown off with the CAI getting a lot of hot air. My ratios were off pretty bad(dad has a scanner). I will be doing a tune up on the car when I get back from vacation, as I just rolled 103K.

I'm thinking your suggestion did it man! It makes TOTAL sense. The air has been musky as hell and extremely hot. Nice...enjoy the rest of your vacay :-)

hope its fixed now, but its weird that an intake can cause such problems especially a popular name brand, i have a feeling theres more to it but i hope not. if it was just the intake, threads like this one would b more common. yea check out the site , introduce yourself and come out to the meets and get togetheres, a few of us usually hit the track in bradenton on thursdays but its been too hot for that lately

Well, I drove home at the usual time from work, and the car worked perfectly. I'll give it a few more days of driving without problems before I get too excited, but it seems the CAI was the culprit :-)
I have to admit though, I'm already missing the growl it makes when I get on it lol

+100 - I love my Florida peeps!
Definitely keep us updated if everything stays happy with the stock airbox, OP.
Cridda, that's a great catch. I guess with this insane heat that we've had, it's causing some abnormal/unnexpected results.
