I guess this happened when I Coming back from a meet with some of the ninth gen corolla guys. I had to drive on an unimproved road, it was like a rally course. well I guess It shuck the CAI loose from the coupling. on the why home I gunned it on the I95 to pass up a minivan and my rpm's drop and the car boggs and nearly stalls. I get home park the car, the next morning I get up to goto the movies and I get a CEL. after the movie "WAR" which was very good I go to advance auto they check the code, comes back running lean bank 1. At this time im like WTF did the e manage ult fail.

So I get up for work this morning and I was going to reset the ecu and see if it will go away, while doing that I desided to check the hoses and stuff and what do I find the CAI tubing isn't even close to being on. So that whole time the car was just sucking in air from the engine bay. thank God I didn't hydrolock because I drove in the rain coming back from the meet. I put it back togther reconnected the battery and now it back to normal.
