well ANYWAYZ, u bunch of homos

i cleaned my throttle body and iac valve and clamped it tighter and made sure there wasnt any air leaking in. i started it up and the idle was much better just a tiny bit rough. i went to put on gas and then came back home. i revved it a couple times to 4k and no CEL and when i got home the idle is smooth as before :thumb: im guessing there was a leak either between the maf or the throttle body. cleaning the iac valve and the throttle body had to help too.

great, so you can tell its breathing better now right? If you clean that bay, you might gain a tenth or two ;D

If you cleaned your wheel wells, you'd probably gain half a second. ;)

hmmm, that sounds strange.....all you did was put on the JLT right? That should not make the idle go crazy ??? i had no problems with mine what so ever. I dont know why yours is doing that.

well the foxes have alot of problem with fan wash. i got a clutch fan, so it might be tripping the maf.also the extra airflow might be tripping something???

Ok well Ill go back to my 91, when I put on a BBK coldair kit I had no problems. Then a 76mm C&L massair was put on and still........no problems :dunno: :dunno: I have NEVER had a idle issue on any of my stangs now that I think about it. Im very lucky I guess :angel:
