The CAI popping loose would certainly cause problems. How did it run when put back together?

Its the JTL Series 3 CAI. It never seemed to really fit right in the first place, but I got it on. It feels like the fitting is too tight to get on, and is almost squeezing it out. Then again, when I tighten the fitting, it seems to hold better. I know I have it in as far as it should go. This isn't the first time its come out - it came out when I was having the overheating issue (or before that and I just noticed it then).
You'll have to check it out this weekend. The thing was a real b**** to install. I had to use pry bars to get the filter attached to the tube. We had to use pry bars to get the fitting at the TB onto the tube when it came off last time. Didn't have to this time.
It may be coming off when I hit a few bumps on the way to work/the airport.

You know, I have no idea. CAR-15, I should be at The Suds on Saturday. I'll show you if you're there.
