Default something went wrong with my intake installation and i dont know what...

like what i did was install the intake and everything looks fine, but now when i put the car into gear, it automatically starts driving, like im stepping on the peddal or something, but im not
and i have to hit the brake and force it back into park just to stop the car
what could it be?

my brother says its cause the RPM is too high, and he thinks it might be something wrong with the ecu
im thinking that when i resetted the ecu, i didnt let it run long enough so it can relearn everything, so it kinda got messed up?

what i did was take out the 7.5v fuse for 20 seconds and then put it back in. then i started up the engine and let it run for 5 minutes and i started to drive it

im pretty sure that the ecu got resetted because the cd for my cd player popped out and my clock got reset

If that didn't work, unhook your battery for about 15 minutes to reset it.

well, i think it got reset, but i was on the civicforum and someone had the same problem as me
he was told to check his IAT sensor and check for leaks too
i will try that tomorrow, i hope it works..

no, i just discovered...
i left something out, but its not long enough to be plugged in anyways...
so i guess im gonna have to go buy a longer one
i dont know the exact name of it, its a thin hose thing at the top of the engine bay

its either the IAT sensor or the vacuum line

but AEM also gave me this plug thing to cover the hole on the intake, so maybe im not supposed to extend the IAT sensor and plug it in?
its not long enough anyways and the instructions doesnt say anything about extending it
