Cold air feed
Hi,
I have fitted a cold air feed running up the wing and onto the air filter. Now I am getting a small problem. The car idles fine when standing still however if its moving and I press the clutch down the car will eventually stall.
I am guessing that the sensor that goes into the wing where the old air intake system was is causing the problem. Makes sense that it would idle fine when standing too as their is no air coming thru the feed at this point, meaning its the same sort of air flow as where the sensor is.
Could this be right or am I talking rubbish? Do I need to fit the sensor into the new cold air feed somehow?
Thanks people!!

You mean on the engine side of the wing? I was tempted to try this. It would be easy to do as a test. Sure the lack of air passing the sensor now I have bypassed it must be whats causing the issue.
