Rough idle

Post by milocas »

Hey guys, installed a Cold air intake on my 03 GT. Everything went smoothly. But when i started it up, It makes a very weird noise, And Bogs at idle. When i drive it around, and let it sit at a stop sign, its normal. Did i do anything wrong? Is the Computer still learning at idle? Let me know!!! Thanks.

Well, ive done some testing around with the vibe. Got it fixed, smooth idle noww. Basically the tube that goes to the back of the air box with that flap thing, i put a nipple on it, and left the other one out. Started up fine without rough idle.
