I installed my JLT during lunch, didn't have time to retune, but when I start it now it run rough and back fires. Will the tune correct this or did I do something wrong when I installed it.?

 

you need a tune.

 

 

 

You've got to be kidding!

 

You need the tune!

 

hey what can I say, I can be an idiot sometimes *L* I was late getting back to lunch and just started the engine forgive me .

 

50 lashes with a wet noodle for you!!!

 

+1 Dude, you can do some serious damage if you drive it hard like that.

 

Get a tune on there asap! I hope you have a tuner and don't have to order one still! Let us know what you think when it all running good. You will enjoy!

 

I didn't drive it, I just started the engine and gave it a little gas.

 

Yes I have a tuner, will be tuning her up in about a half hour when I leave work, then out on the road for a test drive

 

Just a piece of advice....If you need tyo retune your car after a mod, make sure you install the mod in a place you can leave your car for a while.

At work might not be the best place to run into some problems.

I prefer to deal with all of my tuning at home, or on the dyno. You never know what kind of issues you will run into.

I didn't mean to come off as an @$$, but I figured, you've got to do a bit of research to even know about a JLT intake, so I thought for sure you'd know that you needed the tune.

Now, enjoy the intake for now, and start saving up for a blower!

 

to late now, but you are better off installing the tune first to make sure you have no problems with the upload and then putting the CAI on. Could prevent you from having to reinstall the stock airbax.

 

wow, i got it tuned and boy what a difference. I can't beleave how well it responds now. and that's with an 87 tune. will retune to 91 when my tank get lower. Now for the problems i have now. i wasn't able to install the heat shield. I have stretched the body and filter as far as i could and the wide part of the filter blocks it from settling in the cradle so i'm running without the shield. here are the pics of my install. i would appreciate any help, maybe from people who had the same problems.

i keep getting an error when i try to insert my pics. will try to post them later

 

here are the pics of my stall

I am pretty sure you have the elbow on backwards. Try switching it around. The reason I am so sure is I did the same thing when installing mineand could not make the heat shield fit properly. When I installed it correctly the heat shield goes on perfectly.

 

I want a CAI now.....

I could toss it on the plastic but i'd be dead when my wife saw how much i've dropped in the last 3 months.

 

thanks scott, i was sitting here and started thinking to same thing. well i'm glad i'm not the only one *L*

Here are some pictures of mine if it helps. If you look at your first picture, compared to my first picture you can see the difference in positioning of the elbow. Yours comes out further and then to the right pushing your tube too far towards the front of the car and that is what is giving the problem fitting the heat shield.
