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.

Sounds good man, really appreciate the offer!

No, I'm not a part of that site, but I have seen the fb page they have. I'll def check it out though....thanks for the info. It's a Stillen CAI, nothing special (http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/11-2958). I'm hoping so too!

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 :-)

seems like you got it fixed, but i had this same issue of stalling during the day, and i could stop for a little bit and it would run again. but my issue was the fuel pump overheating and failing.

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

If I have the problem again after putting back on the stock air filter, I'll def have the fuel pump checked out.

I know it...who'd have thunk it. Obviously none of the places I took it to thought about suggesting it...so I'm still a little leery, but I'll give it a few days before I say for sure it's fixed! So far it's looking good though.

Yea, I checked out the site today. I'll most def be signing up, thanks for the suggestion. I've seen you guys out at Peabody's before. Looking forward to the gatherings!

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.

Well, after 2 1/2 days of hard driving, the car has performed perfect! I'll post back again in a few days if anything changes!

Thanks for all you help guys! **cheers**
