Did you get all the hoses connected..? what did you get from the used intake deal.. just the tube?

im me i can help

lol and if stil lsot im hombredelassrtas but clos is the man

alright you guys. i got it going i think. i havent test driven it yet. but it starts up and the sound is great. However, i still wasnt able to locate or put on a pipe from the ecu down.

alright guys. i drove the car home. it went great, the sound was awesome. But, when iwas up the block at my house, and slowing down to a stop sign comming up, i noticed that my check engine light, and battery light came on. Then i noticed that the car had turned off. I dont know if the car shut off, then the lights went on, or the other way around. But when i started the car, it started fine, and neither of the lights came on anymore. What could the deal be?

do you take off the negative terminal wire during your install? when i did my intake i took off the neg. battery wire and put it back on when i was done...

ya i took the negative thing off. Oh. and by the way. i had this one thing left over that i dont know if its supposed to connect to anything. there is one connector that didnt go anywhere (according to the install things ive read). However, there was also one little goldish colored thing that had a connector comming to it, i didnt hook that up to anything either. Also, durring my attempt to install the intake, i noticed that my car is missing the pipe that comes out from the ecu (I think thats what its called). Heres a pic of it. the pipe that i am talking about is circled in white.What is the pipe for, do i need it, where can i get it from, and what will happen if i dont put it on? And the thing that got left out that i was talking about, i will take a picture tomorrow and show you guys.

i think the name of the tube is the ecu cooling tube. I don't think you really need it but it should have been there before you took the stock intake off.

and the pictures attached show the part that i took off and cant find where it goes. PLEASE HELP. My car has just gone off by itself a couple of times while driving. So i really really need help

you don't need that piece your holding, the pipe coming from the ecu is just a pipe that runs from the radiator fan to cool off the ecu, but i would recommend just going to the toyota dealership for a new one, the one plug you have hanging does not get used, the other two and also the two hoses that come from it stay connected in the same place, that little hosing you had running from the lower part of the engine to the stock intake is not used anymore, it is just closed up with a simple cap, or cut part of the tubing, stick a large screw into it with silicon on the screw, and make sure all your hoses are tightly connected, that could be a reason for the car moving itself.

umm. since there arent any pictures illustrating it, i dont really know where the stock hoses go. I guess ill just have to go along with it until the next meet comming up this month, and ask someone to help me out with it.

hmm missing the ecu tube 'eh? did you get your car used? maybe the guy before you installed a CAI, sometimes the ecu tube gets in the way and then reinstalled the air box before he traded it in.

i got the car from a body shop. it had been crashed before, and the body shop had bought it and fixed it.

guess they left that out then, there is a diagram on the installs section that shows where the tubing goes, that should be your biggest help, other than that, if you still need a walkthrough or someone to talk to about it, my aol name is spiauto, i'll be on from time to time.

all i did was unplug the maf sensor and plugged it back in and i havent had any trouble with the for the last week. but um, where can i buy the heat shield seperatly?

ok guys. forget about the car not stopping anymore. My car still goes turns off by itself once in a while again. Ive noticed that most of the time that it happens is when im pushing third gear. once i move out of third gear and ease off the gas, it just goes off. PLEASE PLEASE HELP
