STS problem. Please help.

I just had some place take out my radiator and I think they didn't hook it back up like it was supposed to have been. I'm drivin' down the road and all of a sudden my car starts bucking like I'm in a rodeo. I get out and look under my hood and notice the 1" line that used to go to my airlid is just hanging freely. Is there anyone on here that knows where on the kit that I'm supposed to put that? I think that's what is causing my car to be choking itself out.

Hmm... If that isn't the problem then would you have any suggestions? The only thing that I did today other than get the radiator installed was a 180* thermostat and the computer I just put in from nelson is supposed to be tuned for that so I can't possibly see how that could do it.

180 Therm should not need a program... You had it reprogramed?

Eh, I'm pretty frustrated, sorry about the pointless info. I talked to Billy at TRT about half an hour ago (extremely awesome guy) and he said it could have to do w/ an detached wire from my MAF sensor. I went to look at it, took pictures, but I don't seem anything that's not connected.

The only time I've had some serious bucking is when I got some moisture on the MAF. Any chance of that?? That's probably why Billy mentioned the MAF. By the way, I agree that TRT is a very good company to deal with.

Well, went out this morning to fix the "problem" started the car and it started right up. Maybe the MAF got wetted. I'm not sure. But I do know that it can beat a modded lightning now ;-)
