HELP! What's wrong with my car???
Okay...so I have a 3.0L...
So i take out my short ram intake yesterday and then put back the stock air box...when i started the car, it was idling below 500 rpm and felt like it was gonna stall. So then i start driving a bit...and then the idle problem gradually went away...but even so it was still idling at about 1000 rpm, still a bit low i thought. So later on i'm driving and i feel my car revving higher without me on the gas, like almost as if my throttle was stuck. So i turned off my car...when i started it again it revs up to 4000 rpm so i can't even put my car into gear. So after a few tries with the same result, my car won't even start anymore. So i get a jumpstart and i manually rev the engine on the throttle and it seems to be fine after that. But then it throws out an engine code. I just checked it and it was 3 long blinks. My car is still idling below 500 rpm when i start it now. I couldn't find the list of codes but does anyone know what's going on?

One custom CL
If you are getting code three that means there is a prob with your map sensor.
Im sure its nothing big.
Also if im correct the computer does regulate gas and air intake. Maybe you should reset the computer by disconnecting the battery and after doing so turn the car on and let it run for a few.

check and make sure nothing is in the way of the throttle to hold it, i had a clamp holding my throttle... redlineing it i just shut the car off and pulled over... it was from my intake, the clamp was stuck on the throttle.

well I have a 2.2 but, when I put in my intake , there were alot of vacuum hoses. so much so that if I was to put the stock airbox back on I would have no idea what goes where.
ne way my point is that maybe there is a problem with the vacuum hoses. bent or missing or even connected wrong
but before I read the MAP post it was the first thing that came to mind. good luck
