like 5-6 years ago my buddy had a 91 teg and he got an intake,well that day on the way homefrom work a packing peanut got stuck in his throttle body and made it stay wide open. lucky for him he shut it off before it blew up but he took it to two or three mechanics and they couldnt figure it out....... SORRY KINDA OFF TOPIC

just a guess. maybe a missfire that you didn't hear before. or a small back fire. corse you would prob bet a CEL with that stuff to. Duno

^would that be a big deal? or should i just ignore it, my CEL has been on since long before i installed the intake, because of my o2 sensor, which im getting fixed soon.

Yeah you could be running lean and backfiring... god knows. Is your MAF ok? You didn't damage it, by chance?
