Hi I have a 97 camaro lt1, and I was just pulling out off the gas station and my car started bogging down real hard. So I pulled into the gas station and popped my hood and started looking around.. And I noticed that my cool air intake had fallen of off my MAF... now I was curious as to if that is what was making it bog down? I putt it all back together and drove my car home, with no problems... but should I be looking for something else or could that make my car bog down like that?

 

infront or behind the maf? either way that probably was it

 

it was on the cool air intake side directly connected to the MAF...

 

Im surprised it stayed running at all

 

I am kind of a new b... so are you being serious? That could make the car shut off?

 

yes it can the maf monitors the air coming in the temp and all so the computer adjusts for whatever if its not completly reading the air its goin to be lets say confused

 

Yes i am serious like the guy said above me

 

ohh ok well thank yall...

 

has this ever happend to anyone eals?

 

dude, if you air intake falls off... your car is NOT going to run. lol. guaranteed. make sure that thing is screwed in tight and installed properly.

 

If your intake disconnected from the MAF and the MAF stayed connected to the TB by the intake elbow, they you'd likely notice nothing at all. If the intake and MAF got disconnected from the intake elbow allowing air in that doesn't pass through the MAF, then yes, it will cause your car to run poorly if at all.
