Sounds like limp mode. Was the G3's the only thing you had done or the only thing touched by anyone. Make sure the MAF's are clean and then disconnect the battery for 10 minutes to reset the SES.

That would be my guess to. Try looking at the MAFs they might even be lose/disconnected.

just because he has G3s doesn't mean he would be immune to the problems that rain could cause

make sure all the cuplings are secure and sealed. After I put my G3s on, one of them slipped off the throttle body. I was having similar issues. Everything looked fine from the top but when I reached underneath I could tell it popped off. Easy fix and everything has been fine since.

There's always a possibility. But doubtful. I've driven in the worst of rain staright to the shop just to take my bumper off and not a drop in the area of the filters.

This! I've had that happen once. Those couplings can be tricky believe it or not. It's real fun when your boosting and it happens. I'll never forget that day.

Thanks for the replies everyone! But unfortunately none of these works for me. I've tried disconnecting the battery for an hour. Re-tighting the couplings and wipe clean the sensors..maybe its the AF ratio? Bcz it suddenly dies after a couple of seconds idling..

MAF sensors are in backwards, plugs going to MAFs are loose or swapped (left to right, right to left).

You might also have a bad vacuum leak - loose coupler, filter etc.

I've triple checked the MAF sensors and and tried putting it backwards and they didnt align at all so that prolly not the case. And they are certainly not loose either..i wiped it with microfiber towel and no i did not. One of the installer of the most reputable shop in my country installed it for me..
