Damn, what kinda intake? You check for oil leaks? are you burning oil?

 

[importknight]

k&n cold air intake with outerwrap and no oil leaks umm pretty sure im not buring oil could it be plugs and wires or maybe cloged cat or to much flow

any check engine lights? all vacuum line hooked up? no kinks in any sensor wires? did you unhook your battery for more than 15 mins? take the positive and negative off?

did you do the 60k service? if you did disconnect negative battery terminal, let the car sit for 20 mins then attach it, then go for some spririted driving so the ecu can adjust to your driving habits

 

[importknight]

um i dont think it did the service maybe i just got the motor

that is your pcv intake port. this sucks clean air into your engine crank case to allow for proper ventilation of pcv fumes.

But the wires on your iac valve looks to be kinked try to unbend them.

your ground wire from your valve cover needs to be replaced. your headlights dim when you downshift correct??

try to unhook your entire battery for a while (15-20 mins.) if that doesn't work call the company or repost on here.

[importknight]

Unhook your battery for 15 minutes to reset your ECU.

My 2nd gen Sedan did this when i traded my ebay CAI for a AEM CAI... I was astonished to have lossed power so i asked a friend and he told me to reset the ECU so i did and everythings fine now

ok un kinked the pcv valve , but what the hell is a iac valve

 

[slow_99integra]

idle air control valve. it is the sensor right on top of your throttle body. it is similar to a mass air flow sensor on fords. keeps the idle speed correct
