Default Something's wrong with my car =(

Awhile back, I installed the AEM CAI into my Z with the help of the instructions that came in the box. After a couple days with it on, the car does a sort of dance, like it'll jerk back and forth while driving. The next day, the problem went away, but i noticed that it does the same dance when the car is wet. What's the problem? Where can i get it fixed? Help please!

are you talking 'bout hesitation? like the car is moving forward, then all of a sudden lurches?

check your hose connections and make sure your battery connection is secure.

please describe it a little better than 'dancing when wet'

Is the filter on correctly, How about the air sensor? You might of put it back wards. It should be a easy install with no problems. I have the injen cold air and never had that problem. I will re instasll just to make sure the process was done correctly.

It isn't hesitation. It's kinda like while your driving it suddenly brakes then jerks forward.

I disconnected the battery before i installed the intake.

The filter is on correctly (how can it not be?). I put the air sensor in the correct way. I'll try re-doing the install.
