i have to say check your connections, something has to be off to just not start when that's all you did. maybe you bumped something, or left a hose off etc....

Going to check connections again. Also a weird think the horn honks twice when I close the door. Never did that before.

It'll honk if you leave the trunk / hood open, or ignition on.

Everything is connected and tight.

Ok Checked all connections. Still won't start

Check to make sure your car is on “P” if auto.

It's a manual

Install your factory intake and check.

Does it turn over?

It finally started. now it says advanced track needs to be serviced. Any ideas why?

If I’m not mistaken there’s a connector for the traction system that you disconnect when you put the car on a dyno. It is right near where the airbox is and possibly underneath the airbox depending on the design of the K&N system.

There’s literally nothing changing the intake does that would cause the car to not start. The MAF should install in one direction only. Any hoses you touch during the kit wouldn’t keep the car from starting but would probably cause it to run extremely rough.

A no start condition would be the result of a connection not being re-connected (sensors, battery, etc.), something being sucked into the engine and causing damage or seizing (you would know if that was the case and it would’ve turned over to begin with).

It did not show that advanced track needed maintenance until the car started. All previous attempts at starting never showed that and after I drove it, it feels like it is limp mode.

Is the MIL light on? Otherwise Installing a HAI is one of the simplest things to do. Double check the connection on the drivers side fender that sits to the left of the airbox as viewed from the front.

Yeah I know. That's why I'm so frustrated...
