Only when my car sits out in the rain for a little bit and then I start to drive it, I really cant hit the gas pedal too much without the rpms cutting off around 3k and car jerks a bit. So I just keep it under there and accelerate slowly.

Are there any filter shields that I can buy to cover up the bottom part of the filter?

Any help will be appreciated! Thanks

 

You can get these.

^ exactly what I need, but which size though?

 

I'm not sure.

 

I dont think you are sucking up water. Are your MAF sensors loose or getting wet?

 

under 3K.... that sounds like something else is going wrong


cant rev pass 3K at all?? like it's a rev limiter??

 

My bad I was to clear in the description, it's not that it doesnt rev past 3k because it will, it's just if I push down on the gas pedal hard to try and accelerate fast it jerks but if its slowly accelerating its fine.

Yea I'm going to check the sensors now.

 

Check for any leaks in the intake. Check your MAF sensors. Then check for CEL codes.

 

What Betty said, not an intake filter problem; if your intakes were sucking up water you'd know it as your car wouldn't be working right now.

 

I have the Stillen CAI and drove once in a rainy day.
The car went into limp mode and I had this problem.
Btw my hydro shield for the intakes was misinstalled at that time, so it didn't cover a driver-side filter. I checked that in my garage it was totally soaked.

 

Checked the MAF sensors yesterday and they were fine, no CEL either. I forgot to check for any leaks in the intake so I'm doing that today.

So do you guys think its worth getting those hydro shields?

 

I dont want to make a new thread , but im having the same problem as this guy >.< whenever i autowash the car this happens and i got to wait for like 10 minutes , what size hydro shield should i get ?? or is it not related to it ??

 

you have the gen3's and this happened? that is the first time i've EVER heard of that happening...that sucks man, sorry that happened to you

by autowash do you mean like a drive through car wash? if so, that is the problem, you shouldn't be going through a car wash!!

 

i got an Injen Long tube CAI , well even if i dont it happens ,except if i leave the car to dry for a long time . it happened like 3 or 4 times im just scared if it keeps on happening something might happen to the car . no one knows the Size of the filter ??

i found this Amazon.com: Injen Technology X-1035BLK Black Hydro-Shield Pre-Filter: Automotive not sure if it fits..

 

Just measure the filter!

I think you guys have leaks somewhere. If not, this doesn't bode well for this style of CAI.
