check all your connections, that everything is tight also
make sure ur mass air sensor is too.

do you have check engine light?
other members with injen have been good try to serch in this thread.
there maybe some input to ur problem.
you should be good - any other member want to chime in.
i havn't installed an injen intake personal to my e90, so...

edit:
couple of links.

I think it is when i start the car def when it is cold, but that never happen with the older original intake. But then again i have had it felt even when it was warm.

gonna be looking for a while to find a mass air sensor on a 335 lol cuz its non existant.

it sounds like you have an air leak where the injen pipes meets the factory hoses

I'm with this.
TS, if you have a bav tool reset the ecu so it can relearn.

MounisM · 12-09-2009, 11:53 AM

i started the car today ya its cold and it kept turning off. and did say service required but that goes away. I think i will go back to the stock.

MounisM · 12-09-2009, 11:54 AM

i dont know what ts is i m sorry and i do not have bav tool i am sorry i dont even know what that means.
I though replacing it with this intake wouldn't be this big of an issue. my god

MounisM · 12-09-2009, 12:13 PM

im going to try and tighten everything again after taking everything off specily the connections next to the engine. i will press it alll they way in and then tighten em. lets c.

its not the injen, i have installed alot of them on 335's, something is either loose or installed wrong somehow. check all vaccuum lines going to the diverter valves and everything else, i know that intake is cumbersome and you may have knocked something off during the install

MounisM · 12-09-2009, 12:33 PM

i uninstalled and reinstalled and i m sure i tighten everythig started the car and car died again?
wtf

since this question was asked in the Naturally Aspirated forum (NON TURBO), by a guy with a 330i and not a 335i, I think the suggestion to check the Mass Air Flow sensor was good advice. I can see someone pulling the wires out of the sensor trying to get it off of the factory plenum.

and telling someone with a 330i to "check all vaccuum lines going to the diverter valves and everything else" is NOT really good advice, lol.

hey mike-y thanks for hav'n my back.
sexye92 i know ur try'n to help. it's

i'm not goin' pretend i know everything about cars - i'm just talk'n from
personal experience - i can mix up car terms easily - only human.

MounisM, go ahead and put it back to OEM and see if everything is cool.
try not to freak out much - isolate your problem first - if your car still stalls after your OEM intake is back on, then proceed from there.

if u don't stall after the OEM intake is back on, it's just an install issue.
I would go to a local performance shop , maybe a friend on the forum to help re-install it. The intake should work without a hitch.

can u post up pics of ur install?

Ph0zenstone · 12-10-2009, 07:53 PM

most likely a vacuum leak. put your oem back on and if it still does that, just take it to the dealer they will fix it for free

MounisM · 12-10-2009, 09:06 PM

i took it off and reinstalled the original, woke up in the morning it was cold as hell press the start button and bam started up without any problem and did not shut down. hmmmm

Ph0zenstone · 12-11-2009, 03:19 AM

probably just a vac leak when you installed the Injen. The hose connector to the TB is a little tricky, after its on it still has to snap into place otherwise it'll look like its on but its really not. also maybe your maf sensor was loose?
