Default Secondary air intake on AU

Hey guys,
I have just recently done the secondary air intake mod on my 98 AU,also have the tickford intake and supercheap pod filter in the airbox.
The problem that I am having is that sometimes,not all the time,between 4thou and 5 the car just seems to break up and won't rev past 4 thou,just splutters and spurts,almost sounds like it is starving for fuel? but then other times she kicks in right on 4 and then I just hang on for the ride! ,love the induction noise at hi revs! I have disconnected the battery to reset everything but it aint done much to help.
I have noticed that the choke seems to be stuck on at times and I am pumping black out of the exhaust,I was watching the D.T.E reading go from 87k to 53k in a matter of a few minutes,can anyone help,getting bloody expensive!,I am running 80ml pvc pipe into the airbox behind the headlight,would it help to run a pipe/hose from the secondary intake pipe to under the front grille?
thanks heaps for your help,this forum is awesome for nuff nuffs like me!

maybe your dual runner switch is not working properly, if the runners don't switch at 3,800rpm you hit a pretend brick wall.

Try putting your panel filter back in, pod in box is crap.

This sounds the most likely culprit to me.
