There is a little plug next to airbox and fenderwell. It’s the only way to release the beast. lol.

Maybe check for codes even if no light on

How can I do this, do I need to take it to a dealer and ask them to check for me

What plug is this you are talking about?

How about finding an empty lot and letting it rip - if you do dumb things so you know for sure the electronics are kicking in, at least you then might know for sure if it’s the same intervention you are seeing on the street

So today, I was leaving my parents house, start it up and drive down a couple side streets to get to a main street. I get it straight for a few seconds and then start to accelerate, and the car did it again, like it bogged down like I was hitting the brakes for a 1 or 2, then it sped up. I was only increasing speed from 20 mph to around 45. I didn't see no traction light flash or stability light, I'm not sure it may have a light. I also asked the dealer about traction and stability control and I don't think they understand my situation with my car. They believe I am giving it heavy throttle off a turn or something and I am not. Anybody got any idea whats going on?

a thought,

being mass airflow cars, was the K&N CAI a “no tune required”? If not, the larger CAI will slow down the air velocity, the sensor will read low and the car will bog without a tune update.

if it’s a no tune required, make sure the mass airflow sensor is installed and connected securely and there are no air leaks before the throttle body.

best of luck!

Thanks,

Its a no tune required. I'm going to check this right now.

Doesn't that also kill the ABS? Anyways, OP if TC or AT is kicking in, the indicator will start flashing.

can always drop the stock air box in and see if the issue goes away.

I just check the fitting and the MAF sensor, the people who installed it done it correctly.

Does not seem to kill abs on mine. I have hammered my pp1 brakes many times over 100 mph with zero signs of lockup. Driven close to 10k miles unplugged no problems...

My car didn't have a incident with this in couple weeks, but I do have a question so I can monitor this. Is there a way to see my Oil Pressure in a Base 300 A 2018 Mustang GT, I was trying to find the Oil Pressure and the Vacuum Screen but only able to find the vacuum gauge?

Like you wanna see the PSI? Then no.

Was it like a stutter? Sounds like misfiring to me. A vacuum leak could be responsible if there was one after the install. Bad gas could cause this as well. But what you're describing there is different than how I'd take the first description.

What I'm talking about would feel kind of like if you shifted into 6th gear way too early, floored it, and felt the car stutter and nearly fall on its face.

checked my OBD2 dongle (bluedriver) thinking maybe it would be a data pid, no luck.

Its a no tune required. I'm going to check this right now.

many of the no tune required CAI’s have inserts that neck it down to factory diameter so the sensor reads right. If the diameter around the sensor is larger than stock it would need a tune or the insert put in.
