Default Please Help! Sos! 2.3l

well this is what i got 93 mustang 2.3L.

i installed a 5.0 Cold air intake to it with the maf sensor adapted on. the temperature sensor is connected but just hanging around outside of the intake. the vacuum line is pluged.

Problem : it wonnt idle right. i set the idle all the way on high on throttlebody. it startsup on 3k revs and then slowly dies down until it get to 500 revs , starts shakng until it stalls. if i gve it gas it slowly accelerates and makes loud banging sounds like a shotgun. whats wrong!!!!??????!!!!

well your problem lies within your kit. the 5.0 kit is too big, whitch means your sucking too much air. i had this same problem when i was experimenting with different cai's. the one i found that worked was a fenderwell kit for a 95-98 hons civic. you can get one on ebay real cheap. all you need is an extra coupler, a mass air adapter and a hacksaw. just cut the lower pipe in half and bolt it all on. check out my cardomain page for pictures of it and the many others i have tried. you can find me under "93pony". hope this helps

Look around at autoparts stores for the APC cold-air intake kit for 96-2000 non-DX/LX Honda Civics (if you're REALLY lucky, you'll find one of the parts stores that still has the older design kit (APC part #151002K) in the older packaging on sale as a "discontinued" item as they were discontinued late last year in favor of a new design and newer packaging, I got mine for $10 at the parts store I worked at (no employee discount on disccontinueds) at the time.) It practically bolts on for the non mass-air 2.3, but with mass-air, you'll have to do what Hondahunter said and cut the pipe, and intall the MAF with two extra couplers (Autozone has an amazing array of couplers, elbows, pipe, filters, etc. if you want to just make your own CAI or need other parts.) I used that CAI on my '88 LX 2.3 till I sold it, it dropped right in, but to make the install a little cleaner I did make a bracket to use the stock bolts and rubber insulators to hold the filter up instead of having it just lay in the empty space left behind when I yanked the airbox. You'd be suprised just how much a 2.3 will wake up with a CAI, not to mention how much meaner it will sound.

Hey Cubandfisher Try Bigger Psi Fuel Injectors. I Called Racerwalsh And Ask A Few Questions And Ask Them About A Stock 4 Banger And Rebuild It For A Turbo The Guy Told Me That It Will Work And Would Need Bigger Psi Injectors For It To Run Right. Even If I Want To Put A Cold Air Kit To Do The Same Thing Bigger Psi. I Had The Same Problem The Idle Would Go To 1000 Rpm And Drop To 500 Then It Quits And This Is Just From Removing The Baffles And The Air Silincer My Brother Turn The Idle Up Some To Run Right.
