ok im installing my injen short ram.. 1) what do i do w/ this little cap? it's about 1cm big... and where do i mount the vacume switch!!

right under your throttle body on the engine is a little port where the butterfly was connected to with a pipe. Right next to the black intake manifold, or if you have a gts, silver maifold i think. This rubber pipe is no longer needed, and if you look, you'll see something sticking out right there, that is where it goes. try the installation section and they should have a pic of it.

i'll go look.. the damn install is to dark...

ok did that thanx.. now how do i mount the vacume swith to the mount?? there is no bolt.. it was clipped on mine and there was a small skrew...

If the vaccuum switch your referring to is the one for the butterfly, you don't need to connect that to anything anymore, just tierap it to something, if its not this, let me know, i'll give you some more help.

wait, i know what your talking about now, sorry, on the side of the intake there should be a piece of metal sticking out for no reason, this is where you mount it, and the kit should have came with a bolt to put here. If not, i'm sure you can find a way to mount it on there, i forget how mine worked out, but thats where it goes.

thanx for your help bro.. i just tied that piece off b/c it didn't reach the metal clip.. works great!! no check engine light and sounds fine to me!! pics to come once i get my damn camera back from sony.

anytime, i still have a problem with mine though that no one seems to be able to fix, its pissing me off, check engine light never turns off. Hope you like the sound, i love it, and it gives a nice gain too.

yea the sound has a nice growel, took it for a ride for like an hour to see if there were any problems none so far..*knocking* it's nice and cool out so the celi is running even better.!! did ur check engine light come on as soon as you started ur car for the first time??

It comes on after i slam down the pedal hard a few times. Theres a problem with the vaccuum i think, might be a leak or a line collapsing on itself, i'm gonna take it again to have a pro look at it, but we'll see, could just be a defective intake, who knows at the moment. I do know what i shouldn't do and i know exactly what the problem is so its ok. I actually lose power though when the pedal hits the floor, can only hit the pedal down maybe 85-90% before this happens, doesn't matter at what rpm either.

hmm dunno.. now i don't remember if i hit it that hard... i'll have to go for another ride.. good luck w/ ur prob..

check your installation and examine everything closely, double check EVERYTHING.

I've checked the install countless times, and even had a tech look at the install. Its done right, just have to figure out the problem now. Thanks for the suggestion though, but its been going on a few months now.

ok i'm not to good w/ this but i would check ur hoses for a pinhole or did you reset ur ecu?

There are a few things that you can do to save yourself some $$$ before you take it to a pro.
1) Disconect you battery for a few minutes.
2) Make sure that all your hoses are on all the way.
3) Check to see if you MAF sensor is clean.
4) Check your zip ties and make sure that they are not too tight around the hoses.
