A buddy of mine has bought me a custom do it yourself intake for my 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS, 2.4l. So I put it on, an the engine sputters in idol. When I give it gas or drive its fine.. Any idea what the problem is other that probably just ****ty quality filter.?

 

Might want to post this in the Lancer section...

 

You might need to unplug the battery for like 10 minutes. Connect the battery and then restart the car. Let it idle for a few minutes to learn the new filter's flow. I had to do this for my 01 v6 galant that had a cold air intake

 

i run a 2.4l on mine... you sure you have the sensor all plugged in correctly on the intake that may be your issue... but those DIY intakes are known to leak... when i bought one for my jeep years ago i welded it all up to make it solid and then powder coated it... make sure you are snugged up at the TB nice and tight
