my car has been having a problem with the idle for a couple of weeks now. i took it in to the dealership and they said it's because of aftermarket parts (AEM sri), but i have had my intake for like 4 months now. i also adujusted the throttble body if that might be thr source of the problem. its been so bad that my car even stalled (my car is automatic!!). just wondering if anyone has had the same problem or know what is wrong?!? thanks

my idle was to high for my manual. i went to the dealership and they ddint know what was wrong. you need to reset the ECU after you put some mods on that will mess u p the computer. just disconnect the - battery cable for 15-20 minutes then put it back on and run your car at idle till it warms up to normal temp. then, take the car around the block for a few times, come back, and let it idle for a little more. your ecu will adjust and within the next few days return to the original factory idle point.

If you adjusted your throttle cable then that was the problem...
It should have nothing to do with your SRI

Here's a TIP,
After every engine related mod you do to your car... you always have to reset the ECU or it can harm you fuel management system and various stuff... by doing so, the ECU can set itself up to perform at it's best with your mods... my friend's Type-R had been eating a lot of fuel since he got an exhuast and intake... but that problem was fixed after we reset the ECU.... Good thing our cars take regular gas..LMAO

acutally...the word on the street (or among us) is that you don't need to reset the ECU...its the throttle cable adjustment you made...that can mess w/ the idle.
