puddle straw has the idle a lot lower than it just was. assuming this is normal. do i leave it as is or bring the idle up a little bit? its borderline stalling its so low.

 

yup... the same thing happened to me when i installed the AEM CAI. before my idle was at around 7-800 and now it is at 4-500. sometimes after reving hard and stop at signal lights... i see it idle at around 2-300. i think it should be normal... as long as ur engine doesn't start to choke. occasionally on hot days.. i did noticed that sometimes my engine is about to stall and i have to rev it just to wake it up. go figures~?

 

thanks, i understand why, i just didn't know if anyone was taking corrective measures towards it or not.

 

change the idle and make it alittle higher than stock so it doesnt bog out at a light

 

advance your timing
but its normal for when putting on a new mod for idle ot be different
hopefully you correctly reset your ecu and have all the lines plugged in

 

me too

my guess: more air flow, engine requires less idle??

my friend adjusted it till it ran a little higher, its fine now

 

yeah, it burns less fuel at idle because its not trying so hard.

 

There is an idle screw I think which you turn to raise the RPMs. But I read in the Chiltons that no matter what that is the ECU will control the RPMs to stop it from stalling.

 

mine did that until i reset my ECU, now it idles at stock idle all the time.

 

I reset the ecu while i installed the thing. if i didnt the mas would be trowin' codes.
