2002 Cold Air Intake-Lag

I installed a Weapon-R Intake onto my '02 v6 Camry and ran into a problem; the car starts up fine but if I accelerate quickly, the engine lags between 3,000 and 5,000rpms. I have contacted the weapon-r company but got no answers. I'm assuming it's a vacuum leak since there are 3 hoses not connected to the new intake.

I've had issues with a 2002 ES300 when the vacuum lines were hooked up properly, the car would stall. It was a combination of a disconnected vacuum switching near the motor mount and another broken vacuum switching valve underneath the engine cover. I also cleaned out the throttle body and reconnected everything properly and ran new vacuum lines. Left the battery unplugged to clear out the ECU and replug it back in. Everything worked perfect afterwards.

If your car is stalling right after starting, might have to hold the gas down and keep it running until the ECU can re-learn the changes in the air intake. If the car is not running right with the intake in with the proper connection, something else is going on.

For what it is worth, I am using an Injen Intake in my 2004.

There is a piece of a filter paper on the open port as seen in the picture. I been trying to find a plastic cap as there was suppose to be another vacuum hose for the 3.3L IIRC. The instructions for the Injen to cap it off if it wasn't the 3.3L IIRC but my 'used' kit didn't have a cap nor was it included with the kit per instructions. It is a vacuum leak since it's past the MAF

Thanks for the feedback. I tried connecting all 3 and gave it some gas upon starting up but the engine wouldn't idle and eventually stalled out. I've looked at the vacuum system and realized that one hose is supposed to be connected to the main intake.

I cut a small hole and taped around it but the lag is still there. I might just take it to a local mechanic and see if they can diagnose it better than I can.
