Talking Idle Woes..... FIXED!!!

Okay... First i just want to say thanks for everyone who replied to my posts/problems.. here is the low down:

After installing this intake, had the problems with the check engine light, idle dropping to almost stall, then starting problems... GRRRR..

Majority of people here said it would be the spark plugs, and no offence, i was SURE it could not have been cause there was NO problem before i installed the intake...

SO.. call upon the help of my buddy, who is a mechanical engineer and owns a nice old street rod... I told him what was up, and the suggestions everyone made.. first thing he sayz. Vaccuum Leak... what did we find.. SMALL HOLE in the plastic tube that attaches to the intake... all this time and it was a FREAKIN HOLE!!!!

SO!!! if ANYONE has this problem, check all your connections and seals.. AND LOOK FOR HOLES!!!!!!

VACCUUM LEAK!!! geez.....

Car runs SOO much better now... coming up on 30k i will be doing my spark plugs and adding a DRY Nitros kit aswell.. Just cause i am bored...

Thanks again!!!
