so i installed a new intake on my 2003 xle (disconnected my battery and all that) and after checking to make sure all the lines were sealed and neat i started the car and the rpm kicked up past 1000 like usual but then it started to settle and then dropped down to zero shutting off the engine.
so i tried again but this time giving it some gas and turning on the ac/radio/lights and keeping the rpm up, after a couple minutes of this i took the car out around (for about 15 mins) but the rpm kept dropping really low and would begin to die if i didnt give it some gas. so i came back and trolled the forums for a little and read about cleaning off the MAF sensor so i went out and bout the MAF cleaner and disconnected my battery, cleaned the sensory thoroughly and tried again
turning on ac/radio/lights, giving it some gas brought the rpm down real low but the idle wasnt as rough. the idle settled around 300-500 so i felt safe enough to drive it around for about another 15 mins. this didnt seem to change much as after the idle still settled around 300-500 and then at the end the engine check light came on. any ideas? i wanna try to avoid the hassle of going to auto zone and getting it read. i included some pics of my setup to see if didn't connect something right or something
