I installed this CAI i got off ebay (i know, i know, I was broke) i knew it would work because i know people that have got the same one and had no problems.My queston is i installed it, checked the hoses, checked everything, even had a friend come by and check. But when i try to start the car, it wont REV above 3000 rpm and dies out like its in safe mode. I already reset the ecu but its still having problems. Anyone have any suggestions?

check your mass air flow sensor.. in fact be sure its plugged in properly> as I recall the engine doesnt really run at all if its unplugged

but check that first

let us know

Got it working, Turns out the MAF was on backwards or not in the position it was with the stock AI. I didnt think it made a difference but it did, thanks for the MAF tip. Next time i should get something with instructions :doh:
