EM1 acting weird after intake

**BennyH** · 19-06-2011 07:52 PM

I recently bought an intake off a member on this forum. (Simota whale penis) and after i installed it it was fine idling, but then later while i'm driving and leave it in neutral, the revs go up and down.
Does anyone know what went wrong ? The stock intake was alright, nothing was playing up, only until i put in the simota intake.

Something's wrong with the throttle body/idle valves

Search up rev hunting.

Good luck

Its one of your sensors. Check all the wiring etc

Everything's in properly, what ever i took out put them back in onto the new intake.

hey benny, put back the stock intake to make sure it doesnt do the same thing as it does when the simota one is on....u might have left a hose disconnected making the engine hunt

**BennyH** · 19-06-2011 08:22 PM

Yeah i have, i put the stock one in and it's fine. That's what i mean, not quiet sure what's going on. Unless the hose isn't in properly, would it cause it to hunt as you mentioned ?

yeah double benny if the hose is connected property and put a hose clamp on so theres no air leaks

your problem is the actual sensor thats connected to your intake arm. u need that plugged in.

**BennyH** · 19-06-2011 09:25 PM

Yeah, that sensor's in for sure. Cos when it's not in, engine light shows up. Not sure if it's the other hose, cos it's already in.

get some soap and water and spray it around that area see if theres any bubbles for air leaks man

Hey guys, nothing seems to be fixing the problem. Would resetting the ECU do much ? As i've seen before it's better off resetting it when doing any mods to the car.
