heres the scoop.

so i had to go from my aftermarket intake to my stock intake due to getting my car smogged. after i ran all night with my stock intake on i decide to swithc back to my aftermarket intake. i put everything back on, forgetting my mas air flow sensor. i started it and it went to 2,500rmp and immediatly died. i plugged it back in after i realize what i forgot. still does the same thing. but if i give it gas it doesnt die on me. but when i get below 2krpm my car just dies.

some one please help. thanks.

josh.

I would look for vacuum leak or loose clamp in the intake. too high idle is often caused by air getting into the intake circuit downstream of the AFM

I'll second that. What did you do with the port that comes out of the bottom of the intake and goes around through the Thermowax to the BAC?
