so yesterday afternoon i installed my KN FIPK and to my knowledge hooked everythihng back the wya it is supposed to be. so after taking it for a few test runs everything is fine but later that night after going WOT it would turn off when i came to slowing down. this did not happen everytime but about 3 out of 15 times or so. no check engine lights are on so i dont have a clue. anyone got any ideas? thanks

Clean your MAF sensor. You probably had too much oil on the filter and it sucked some through the intake and onto the sensor.

 

Might also be the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). Mine would cut out when I was slowing down. What really sux is that when the car shuts off, you loose power steering and your brakes. Good luck.

 

Do you have a Predator?

I would def check the TPS and the MAF for "gunk"

 

sounds like the infamous stall problem some 03's had, the dealer has a new tune that should fix it but try the other ideas first

 

where is this bastard of a TPS located. ill check the MAF for gunk. luckily today it hasnt done it but that doesnt say much. thanks for the help

 

i had a similar problem after the install of an aftermarket CAI. I had changed the position of the MAF not realizing it. Someone hinted to me to position it back to 10-12 o'clock. Never had a problem again. May not be your issue, but check to see if the MAF is positioned where it was orginally....

+1 on te position of the MAF alhtough I have a KNN (abhout to go pro-m) and it never had that problem before, I never oiled mine or anything though so that may be the culprit
