Dead throttle even a/150 miles

Like the title says I've recently reset my ecu after installing my injen intake.

Should I reset my ecu again?

Please, help me out.

Thanks

With the car off, turn the key to on position and press the gas pedal all the way down and release about 5-10 times. Start the car and let it idle for a bit without touching the throttle. It should feel more responsive.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried to pump it 20 times just to be sure. I really don't know if it improved it, but the lag Is still there.

Is there anything else? Or should I do this every time I start my car?

@nycbrz wonders why people hate on his intake...

You need a tune to fix the maf issues caused by your new intake. Or return it and get a drop in air filter.

Will unichip work? I'm not ready to void my warranty.

There's really no way to avoid this?

It could just take your ECU a little while to adapt to it.

I really don't think that's the case. I drove the car today for 70 more miles.

I was thinking of adjusting the intake again and resetting ecu

Any tune will be the same from a warranty perspective, unichip or flashed. Plus, if the dealer can prove it, they can void warranty for the intake too.
