Edelbrock E-Force Troubleshooting Manual

[Burkey]

My Edelbrock Stage 2 on my 2017 PP has been awesome so far. Unfortunately, on morning startup it has started to have an issue and will stall if I don't give it gas. Has anyone else had this issue?

Check to make sure the air-cleaner hasn’t fallen off. The dirty MAF signal this produces will cause stalling.
I‘d start there.

I'll look at it this morning.

Too easy mate. Glad you got it sorted.

Going to have to keep checking it. It's an Airraid filter assembly, so I'm not sure what the issue is with it.

Did that, and while that helped, still having issues. Went thru everything I could reach and tightened/checked clamps. Added some clamps to any of the vacuum hoses I could easily get to.

Still having problems, and the stalling on that first start is getting worse, including this morning. Much cursing.

No problem, glad I could help. After a few minor tweaks it really does work well. No leaks and it fits good just by flipping the bracket.

Bump. This is really irritating me.

The issue is the the filter and box are Airaid, but the MAF housing is from Edelbrock. They failed to put a lip on the part where the clamp goes, meaning it can slide off semi-easily. The solution is tension. Lots of it.

As of now I only have one more to sell the last one I am keeping for myself. If anyone is interested it is still 150 USD shipped.

No, the filter clamp is extremely tight so there is something else wrong. I understand that on the Whipple kits there are spots that experienced installers put RTV/silicone to prevent air leaks that are NOT mentioned in the instructions.

My apologies. I mistook your comment.
You may well have a vacuum leak.
If you can do some logs you may be able to make some observations.
Failing that, a can of aerostart is your friend, or smoke testing.
