Default Problems with my 5.0

Hi, i just recently putted a cold air intake, and now my car starts then it dies 2 seconds later, for atleast 3 times then i give it gas and its good. I have no clue what so ever why its doing it.. Fuel pump is good, everything is at the right place.. Also has little hesitations.


Thanks.

did you forget to plug in the MAF sensor?
also, MAF sensor angle/orientation could play a role. it should be left to as close as stock as possible, especially dependant upon the style of cold air intake.

theres something wrong with your setup, i had one on mine and it worked fine, the only reason i took mine off was i got tight for money and sold it off my car, lol. check the plug in at the sensor, or check the inlet tube for any kind of hole in it, say for a bitrous boss or something, and check the connections, the rubber connectors could be loose. check those and write back.
