Does your dads have the same aftermarket parts on it? I'll bet not. Anytime you mess with part of the motor/computer, by adding bolt on parts, you're asking for trouble. In my opinion the K&N air system is a waste of money. It's only making sounds that make you think you're getting more power. The super chip is just asking for trouble like you have now. Go back stock, you'll probably fix the issue
