"metal capsule thingy's" are usually there for a good reason  . Pics would help diagnosis.

"metal capsule thingy" sounds like the "c" in 22R-EC (the emmissions control crap)
I also ripped mine off. if it's before the AFM, it shouldn't be the cause of the problem.

So should I rip this off out of the engine bay? Or just leave it not connected?
Would resetting the computer maybe fix it?

a picture would *really* help here - I don't want to go telling to you tear out "a metal capsule thingy" that I think might be your emissions crap

Its nightime and cold outside .
I will get one tomorrow.
To try and explain it some more. Into the stock airbox there is three inputs. The thing that the air goes into. The resinator. And the other thingy (capsule ). The capsule looks like it does not get filtered air but it still feeds into the stock air box.

Long as your metal captule thingy wasn't the AFM  So there's nowhere air might be getting in after the AFM?

Nah the air flow meter is all good and hooked up. I am just a bit puzzled why it would be stalling.

I've got NFI what that thing is meant to be, but if you've left that pipe disconnected there's a good chance it's letting unmetered air into the system, and that would certainly cause the problems you're having. Just block it off and see what happens.

norbs: that thingy usually connects to the airbox before the AFM, so it shouldn't affect the afm.

Thats why I didn't plumb it back into the system as it has nowhere to go except after the pod (filtered air) this thing normally doesnt get filtered air. I blocked it off with my finger and it didnt seem to blow or suck.
Does anyone actually know what it does? And is it unwise to plumb it into already filtered air?

Isn't that an air pump? pumps air into the airbox to help the car idle. i might be way off, but on my bros' 18rc motor, it has an airpump that is run off the crank by a belt. it just blows air into the bottom of the airfilter above the carby.

I think you'll find that air pump TAKES air from the air filter and BLOWS it into the exhaust - was kind of a wonderful idea from back in the day to meet emissions regs. It was supposed to encourage further combustion in the exhaust, but many will suggest that it really just diluted the exhaust contents with fresh air at part throttle, thereby reducing the concentration of the nasties. Ingenious, huh?

Ok your Stalling because your AFM is off
that is my set up it was reccommended to me that i KEEP the box with the filter because putting a POD in the bay of a RA65 will suck HOT air in which is what you dont want !
but seeing as you have a pod now you need to re attach this :
|
|
|
v
the metal block with that square clearlooking block on top is the Air Flow Meter- if that is not connected the engine will not be able to sense the amount of air it is taking in to mix with the fuel - so in turn it will shit its panties ...
in this photo:
|
|
v
you have NO AFM if your just putting the pod on the end of that .. there is your problem
also you wanted to know what this was :
|
|
V
it is a filter for the emissions that the 22RE produces .. because unlike everything after the RA65 .. we dont have CATS ! so that is "part" of the emissions system ...
Dont really worry about it u can disconnect it it doesnt harm the car .. just the environment and when people drive behind you .. they think your car is smelly 
anyway .. hope this clears some things up ..

Give me a little credit guys.
I drove the car around for a while and the idle evened out and everything went back to normal.

cool - so the ecu just unfuggered itself?
I r emember either josh or I had to reset our ECU after adding a pod filter (back in the days where he had an N12 Exa )
