Why does it do this? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hi everyone,

I've tried installing a pod filter on my Yaris (1.3l auto) this weekend but have been having some problems.

I use a spectre 8705 MAF housing,a silicone pipe reducer from 3" to fit the yaris orginal pipe and basic 3" pod from local autoparts store.

I start the car up and it idles at around 2500rpm, few seconds later the rpm's drop until under 1000rpm and the car shakes and the engine turns off. (Feels a lot like stalling a manual) Happens in about 10 seconds.

At the beginning I thought it was a faulty pod (restricting air flow) and left just the pipe on without the pod but the same thing occurred. Trying a different MAF sensor from my other toyota but the same thing happened. MAF sensor is positioned almost the same position as it was with the airbox.

Anyone had this happen before?
