Idle is off. Need help

[Blakstang]

Decided to take off my mufflers so that I would know what it sounds like. Big mistake. And I feel so bad that I did this to my stung. I've learned my lesson.

After putting them back on the idle jumps around. At regular idle, it's around 850. But then about 30 sec later it dumps to 500 or 550. I've read a couple of topics about this and no one gave a good answer. Please help

Probably messed up the muffler bearings somehow which will throw the idle off sometimes......

What's a stung?

Did u put them back on?

Is that all u touched?

Try a idle relearn?


And yes TToTD!

 

[Blakstang]

True but I carefully took them off and put them back on. Could there be a leak?

Bad typing
Yes there on
Didn't touch anything else
Idle relearn is ?

Disconnect the battery for 10 mins. Start car, let idle 4-5 mins, turn on a/c let idle 4-5 mins. Guess u lost your owners manual?

 

[Blakstang]

Thanks means a lot. Going to do it right now.
I still have and I'm still learning

If that doesn't work take the mufflers back off and switch them... Right one on left side and left one on right side.... This may fix it...

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

Mufflers are overrated!!! I took mine off and it fixed the problem.

 

[Blakstang]

At ultra- haha if this didn't get fixed I was going to get the gt500 axle backs. There cheap and sound great or the heartthrob muffler delete. I love the way they sound.

To all- it's fixed. Thanks for your input.

I'll tell you all what really fixed it. Very embarrassing but I didn't put the intake cover back on right. The latches were on but the opposite side wasn't correctly seated. This could have been the problem. I know I know. I'm very dumb. Luckily everything is fine now

 

[Wes06]

the intake cover?
as in the piece of plastic that covers the intake manifold?

 

[Blakstang]

No the cai cover

 

[DSargent09]

This just got good.

 

[Wes06]

cai cover...........the metal shield?
the actual filter element?

i thought you said all you had done was the mufflers

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

This is approaching TECH status........standby......

Lol

 

[Blakstang]

My stock cold air induction has a plastic cover The thing you replace with a after market CAI.

The stock CAI is a box (lid and bottom piece) with a tube. There is no shield or cover.

For someone who just changed mufflers, you sure had an issue...lol

 

[stkjock]

so you messed with the stock airbox, the part on the bottom right corner of this pic.

put down the tools, do not pick them up again...... please
