Anybody know the K&N pipe part number? Couldn't I just add their pipe and use the stock air filter and lid?

Well thought I was all set car ran very smooth for a day or so after pulling the k&n and switching back to the stock filter and cleaning the Maf
But of course this morning after starting it and thinking everything was fine I pulled out of my driveway and the car moved fine until about 10 mph then stumbled and to my total surprise shut off.
Restarted ran rough pulled in driveway.
Had a p101 pending code. Started away again and it shut off again.
Drove for 5 minutes seems fine now shows p101 and p106 code again.
Any ideas it did sit in a very hot and humid garage last night for a couple hours till I turned on the dehumidifier.
Thinking of cleaning the maf one more time

The K&N part number is 087147. I suppose you could use the stock filter with the K&N pipe but I think it wouldn't run right since the K&N filter sucks in more air? May throw something off idk

Wow idk, sounds like it may be another issue I've never heard of a K&N filter causing a car to shut off. Has this happen again? Or was it a one time thing? Perhaps this was the cars way of resetting after sensing that there was different air flow with the stock air filter

Seemed to happen just after it went off the cold startup cycle?
Pretty positive it has to do with the oil from k&n since it triggered a pendin p101code

Well things have gone bad again this morning
I have created another thread looking for help now that this has really turned into an issue
Car starts fine in the morning but stumbles upon acceleration and usually shuts off.
here is the continuation on to the new thread.

I'm really sorry to hear that your vehicle is experiencing these issues. I feel that it is best to have your vehicle diagnosed at a dealership. To do further research could you please private message me your name, address, phone number, vehicle identification number, and current mileage.

Thank you,
