Installed CAI, now dieing at stoplights

[Ka24de240sxS13]

Alright so I installed a CAI on my 1992 240sx KA24DE, and now it refuses to idle after it warms up and runs for a little bit. The K&A filter rests in the front bumper in front of the drivers side wheel well. And the MAF is attached to the Filter. I haven't done any mods other than just changing the piping to a CAI.

So today I disconnected the filter and ran a smoke machine on it. Here is what I found. The PAIRC valve is stuck open and leaks air while the car isn't running. I dont know if it is supposed to be open when the car is off but it is.

Other than that, there were no other leaks, the intake system held pressure well. I'm kind of stumped here. What should I check?

did the car run fine before the intake? if so go over everything you did and check ALL connections. i kno when i did a wire tuck on my last honda i didnt snap the dist plug all the way in so it wouldnt start. stupid lil stuff like that makes you go crazy

What CAI are you running - custom or Injen? I ask because the Injen one, you leave the MAF in the stock location (not the wheel well).

Did you cut and extend the MAF wiring to get it to reach the wheel well?

Easiest thing to do for now would be to undo the CAI, plug everything back in, and see if you still have the same problem.

A quick picture of your setup might help.

Runs fine when cold? Could very well be something unrelated.
