Why does my car..... Feel like it's going to stall when I am slowing down. My car runs fine when I am on the gas but when I am slowing to either a stop sign or a traffic light my RPM's drop to 400 and once the car is stopped it goes back to 900 RPM's. The mods I have are Hi flow cats, Cat back, BBk 80mm T/B, Gran. MAF, MAFT, and SLp smooth bellows kit. The only code I am getting right now is 420 which the dealer is blaming on my hi flow cats. Any help would be appreciated.......Scott

Re: Why does my car..... I have had the mods on since I bought the car about a year ago and my problem has just started within the last month or so....

Re: Why does my car..... its the tb or MAF.
Unplug all the sensors(around tb and MAF, and lid), flip the car to run, let it sit in run for lik 30 secs, then turn off, plug up correctly and tightly all the connections and sensors, and turn the car to run and let it sit in run for 5 mins. Start the car and see if its better.
***I think this is the correct way to do this. If someone could reply to this to see if im right b/c i dont wanna give wrong info
my friend forgot to hook up his MAF sensors after installing a lid. I think he described kinda what your describing. Hope that helps

Re: Why does my car..... first off check your engine sensor fuses in the fuse box closest to the headlight. If this isn't it, an o2 sensor may be going bad or your maf may be going bad.
