So i recently purchased cold air intake and i have problems now


I bought a universal tube with a K&N filter and another smaller filter i forgot what it is called , Anyways i have a 2003 3.8 6cly mustang, the problem i noticed is when i driving and i rev my engine then release the car will rock foward and back real fast it seems more towards the back it rocks, it is a kind of violent rock i dont think its a normal rocking motion because friends have them and they dont have this problem, If u know nething about this please leave some information so i can figure out what the problem is.Also i have the Service engine sign on my dashboard lit up to.

get the code, and you aren't supposed to have a breather filter, either run a line to your IAT if you have it or plug that hole where the smaller filter is

i have the hose hooked up to the smaller breather filter and the bigger filter is hooked up to my tube , i did plug the hole with the small rubber piece and i took my old filter out completly , From my old filter i had wires pluged into it , so i took out the chip or little black box inside the old filter and plugged the wires into that then tied it securly into a hole with these bands

1. take off breather filter and attach the hose to the hole.

2. the little black box is your MAF can you get a pic of what you did with the wires cause Im guessing thats your problem
