I just installed an AEM short ram air intake on my 93 240SX today. It ran perfect before the install and now it runs rough, the idle hovers, and steadily goes down until the engine dies. I was having problems with my car running very rough at startup due what what I believe was the catalytic converter being clogged. After beating the hell out of it with a hammer and laying on the throttle a few times it went away. Attched are two video clips. One is the engines characteristics while I lay on the gas pedal and the other is under the hood after the install. Sorry about the terrible quality and length of video, I only have a video recorder on my cellular phone. Any help would be great thanks.
