the part that moves needs to be facing to the filter so it moves back with incoming air and it needs to be pluged in

I had the exact same problem. If you do not find a way to mount your intake so it stays up it pushes the sensor open and the car will shut off. I still didn't figure out a way to hold mine up it just does what it wants to do when it wants to do it. But it may sound stupid but i would probably recommend zip tieing it i just haven't gotten around to doing mine yet. Good luck man!
