I was sitting at an intersection in the left turn lane when a motorcycle cop sped up to the intersection with lights and siren blaring and stopped all traffic. Soon after that a pack of cruisers come through the intersection opposite direction of me going about 60-70. As they passed me my air fuel ratio would drop and my rpms drop with each gust of wind from a speeding bike. It was so bad my oil light was coming on. I just shut it down until they were done bc it seemed like my car was about to die anyways. Never had this issue before.

Wtf happened? Air pressure change with no throttle change?

 

It's normal. Vibrations from the bikes exhaust skewing the MAF readings.

I'm guessing you have an open element Air Filter correct??

 

yes

 

same thing happens to me when an open header truck or harley goes by while i'm stopped in traffic. Almost seems like the car gets scared, but it's fine.

 

Yup no worries man she's ok. Slam your hood she'll do the same. Stupid MAF

 

I hate it when Im sitting at a light and a harley pulls up next to me,
as soon as the harley takes off my car dies
Cant wait to switch to SD

 

AEM 2step = stalling my buddy's EVO behind me... Never gets old.

Your fine, perfectly normal.

 

Lol thanks guys. I didn't mean to come off so srs, hence the title. I figured it was nothing, but I was curious.

 

Funniest title I have seen in a while...

 

One more reason to keep the air box.

 

Never had this happen to me but glad to hear thats it all good if it does, ps the tittle was very funny lol

 

Great thread title... another reason to go to SD.

 

same thing happened when i was at the drag strip, some rotard in front of me did a burnout and the car stumbled and died.

 

When I went to the drag stip it was test and tune for a domestic event the next day... I didn't know this when I drove up. I was out of town on the road. I was the only import there. Every time I lined up my idle would jump around from the shaking. Figured it was MAF sensor.

 

Totally normal. Happens to me all the time.. I noticed it's only noticeable on some Evos.. I ask owners all the time and some (with MAF) say they don't get it.
