Forgot to remove a plastic bag I had wrapped around my filter. Got on the interstate and revved to 9k in 3rd, only to be sneezed on by the car and immediately dropped back to ~2k. Couldn't rev past 4ish after downshifting?? Pulled over to find the bag sucked tight to my filter, tight enough that it twisted/spiraled the cotton medium inside the screen (K&N). Talk about embarrassing! Lol

 

Were you cleaning the engine or something?

 

Hood vented above the filter. I bag the filter when I wash the car..

 

Is the car fine now?

 

Yeah it's good now. It was just starved for air for a few moments, nbd.

 

I always put a plastic bag around my filter(AEM V2) when washing my car. Almost forgot to take it back off before I took the car last night. I usually take it off as I'm drying the car, but I guess I pulled it in the garage with it still around the filter last time I washed the car.

 

wash wax wacko in action!
