hey, so i was driving home this morning from my friends house, and my gt's throttle kept cutting in and out, especially under more throttle, the more i pushed on the pedal. This seemed very similar to me of my last car, an svt focus, where that same thing happened, and it turned out my intake was loose and was not getting a seal. so i checked under my hood, and found that the hose clamp connecting my CAI to my accufab throttle body was loose.. could this be what it was? what else could it be that would be worse? im scared.. should I be? please help?!

When you repaired the loose coupling did the problem go away?

The instake tube being loose is most likely your problem. in fact I am almost certain of it.

anything that allows unmetered air to enter the intake will cuase problems like this.

by unmetered air I mean anything that allows air to enter the intake after the maf sensor.
