today i decided to strap a filter to the MAFS just to see what happens, and when i would floor the gas from a standing position the engin will will start bogging or something for a few second before the car will go anywhere. what could be the problem?

 

Probably that your intake is sucking in VERY hot engine compartment air for that first few seconds. Once you start moving, the hot engine compartment air will be replace with cooler air flowing in.

It will take the ECU a few miles to adjust to the new intake setup.

Also..make sure you put the Intake Air Temp Sensor IN the intake air stream.

this is not the first time i have tryed putting a filter on the MAFS the first time i had it on there for two weeks and the same things still happened and i dont have a air temp sensor

 

If you have a MAF, you have an air temp sensor. MAF's need to know the tempature of the intake air in order to calculate the VOLUME of air going by the MAF film. It may be why this mod never works for you.

There has to be a IAT sensor somewhere on your intake. Maybe it's built into the MAF on the Optima...?

 

You may have your MAF sensor installed backwards. There shoud be an arrow or somthing to tell you the direction on air flow, usually points to the direction of the throttle body.

 

when i took the box of and tube there where know line into or anything that would resemble a Temp sensor, i have never taken of the MAFS so it should be in the right direction, if the problem is the hot air than how would i get cold air to it there is not a lot of room in the engine compartment, when is th SR CAI coming out?

 

do a random special, or buy a kore cai, when i had my MAFS installed backwards i had the same symptoms as u

 

where do i buy a kore cai?

 

There is no KORE CAI for the Optima.

If you want a CAI you will have to make your own. SR has no Optima Intake currently in the works. I do not know of any company that currently has an Optima intake in the works.

 

ooops didnt see u had an optima, u still could do almost the same thing as a random special if u can get a filter in ur fenderwell
