idle searching
hey guys...so this is the deal, my car seems to be searching for an idle position. it first started over the winter and eventually led to a severe engine misfire. i corrected the misfire via plugs. i have also replaced the MAF and fuel filter. it seems when the car is warm and i pull up to a stop or let off the gas with clutch in, it will idle down, but way down. then rev up and and go down and rev up again before it settles just below 1000rpm...does anyone have a clue as to what may be causing this or whats going on. i pulled the CAI off when i replaced my MAF. so i am running the stock intake with no mods. thanks

should be free, just tell them you need the most up to date stage 2 reflash
by the way are your plugs copper or iridium because the part number you have in your sig is for iridiums but you say copper core

a buddy of mine told me that a grounding kit will eliminate this from happening.. mine does that too but ussually its when i rev it harder than normal it will do this at a stop... i think apexi has a grounding kit for 200 bucks..

Mine was doing it to and i pulled the intake off the supercharger and cleaned the Throttle body. there was alot of black gunk in there that seems to make the throttle body stick. It seems to be working good now. will let you guys now if anything changes. I also had the reflash but it didn't work.
