So last night after a race my car started to buck almost as if it was going to stall out in 4th gear.. when I would downshift into 3rd then 4th it would be fine then 5th it would lose power and start bucking again. Eventually after a few more times of downshifting it went back to normal. After parking it for awhile and then turning it on again it did the same thing only after i would shift into neutral for stops it would just stall out completely. Again after driving for a few minutes downshifting and shifting back into gear it was normal and i went home and went to bed. However this morning when i turn the car on it turns on then stalls out immediately, does anyone know what the issue could be or what I should be looking into?

Also I installed a vararam intake on my car about a month ago I would say and had no issues with anything until last night and this morning.

Fixed.

So the vararam intake comes with plastic screws for the MAF sensor and I guess at some point they were knocked loose and fell out. All I had to do was buy new screws and place it back in place and it runs perfectly fine now, ditched the plastic screws this time around.
