Installed Injen CAI, now freaky idle.....
I've had the intake on for about 60 miles and the idle has been odd since I installed it. Basically, no matter if I just goose the gas or am slowing from speed, the tach will stay at 1200-1300 for about 3 or 4 seconds then continue down to regular idle. Basically, I'm driving along and let off the gas, the tach drops normally until 1200rpm, sits there for a few seconds then continues on. Did I do something wrong? This is an auto and I've already checked to make sure the cable is clear, it is. I also disconnected the negative battery hookup when I was installing the intake. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike

Hasn't it been determined that on the 2k2-2k3s disconnecting the battery doesn't work to reset the ECU?

I can rev normally and drive normally - the improvement is noticable. It's just when it's coming down that I experience the problem. Makes driving in parking lots a little tricky.

One last thing, I noticed that the plastic apron along the bottom of the bumper looks like it blocks airflow. Anyone ever take these black pieces off to free up more room for air to get to the intake? Did it make a difference?

I left the plastic on to ward off water splashing up on the filter. If you remove it, give it a feel after driving in the rain and let us know how wet it is... I'd like to know.
thanks,

I didn't feel much of a difference, but it made about a tenth or two-tenth second change on my quarter mile.

It worked! Runs like a top and idle is back to normal. Thanks for all of the suggestions I wouldn't have known what to look for. SupaFly, next time you'r ein the Baltimore area, I'll buy the beers.

Since we are on the subject of intakes,Would it be wise to leave the battery disconnected for 24HRS prior the installation of any aftermarket intake???
