Default installed my ls6 intake
at first , my car ran great! then, I cranked it up after work today and was driving out of my neighborhood, but when i stomped it, it just started spitting and sputtering! it ran good when i was driving it normally, but not at w.o.t.

so i took it by my friends house, he drove it, and it did fine. So i hooked a scanner up to it, and i was looking to see if there were any other codes thrown other than the lack of my egr. NOpe, there wasnt.

And now, it seems to be driving fine. What the hell is up with that? could it be that the computer just needed to relearn itself after installing the new intake?

maybe you broke the oil pressure swithch, or you reused some old gaskets causing it to run really lean

^^^^^ The oil pressure switch wont cause idle issues. How can old gaskets cause his car to run lean?
