It started up like normal. I was in the store for about 10 to 15 min. I came out and it took 3 tries; on the last try I pressed the gas pedal down a bit and it started. Luckily, there weren't any other cars around, but it was embarrassing to say the least. I've had the Gen 3 Stillen intakes for about a year with probably close to 20,000 miles on them. Does anyone know if the dealer cleans them with the scheduled maintenance? I had the 30,000 mile one done a couple of months back, and I'm wondering if they even touched the intakes. They were installed by Nissan back in New Orleans. I'm dreading the bumper removal bit :-/

The sensors? They should but probably don't. I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem at least, I thought I was crazy.

I guess they would clean the sensors, but I was asking about the Stillen conical filters. I feel your pain. I definitely want to get to the bottom of it sooner rather than later since it's my daily driver. I plan on going to the dealership on Monday to get it checked out. If I get any hassle from them, I'm going to bring it over to the Z clinic.

I would almost say definitely not because it's aftermarket but I could be wrong.

I hear ya. I was kind of afraid of that. If that's the case, I definitely know where to start looking.
