Engine jolting up and down after helix uppipe install
Hey guys i just installed my helix uppipe last night... it took about 6 hours =/
well anyways, i let the car warm up for a good 10 minutes before driving away for hte first time. So i get in the car and I floor it, everything is perfectly fine. I drive back to my house and check the CEL codes with the accessport and see that they are only the P0102 (Mass airflow sensor circuit low input) and P0113 (Intake air temperature sensor cicuit high input) no big deal - this is somewhat normal after uppipe install???
So i turn my car off and let it sit for about 20 minutes and go inside and eat. When i get back in my car i drive it slowly for the first 6 or 7 minutes before i decide to get on it, when i floored it then after i shifted into 3rd my entire car felt like it was jolting up and down, so i quickly let off the gas and it stopped... everytime i floor it now it does this, (not necessarily in 3rd gear).. and it doesn't do it right when i floor it, i could have it floored for about 2 seconds or so then it jolts up and down, the time varies.
At first i thought this happened only when I shifted while hauling ***, but this morning I was in 3rd for a while and then got on it a medium amount and it did it again!! This is really really wierd and i don't know what is causing this. I have a couple speculations as to what is causing the issue:
by the way, here are my mods that affect performance:

I know you guys arent going to be able to tell me what my problem is due to the fact that there are tons of possibilities, my whole point of this post is to brainstorm ideas of what could be wrong with my car so i can check it and eliminate the problem.
