Lid problem I installed the SLP Lid and K&N filter yesterday and i started my car and it almost stalled out, i gave it a few rev's and when the RPM's dropped it seemed like it was going to stall out again. I let the car run for about 10 min (maybe since i disconnected the MAF and IAT sensor it has to relearn or something) then drove it around and when i came back everything is working fine. Is this normal? Thanks

did you disconnect the battery? for some reason everytime I have the battery disconnected for more than 10 minutes, and I hook everything back up and start the car again, it will start, want to stall, etc. I'll shut it off, start it up again and it will work just fine. Is it something like that? I think the computer just gets confused.

Yes, having the battery unhooked for awhile clears the "temporary" settings in the computer. Same as the ECM reset procedure. It then has to relearn idle and the fuel curves. It's actually a good thing to do that occasionally. Completely normal.

your computer is just re-learning, when you do stuff like that you just have to let it idle for like 5 or 10 min, if you have an automatic then put it in drive a keep your foot on the brake and just let it re-learn.

My Lid install was extremely uneventful. Swapped parts out very carefully and it started right up like normal, and ran the same, except with better throttle response.

My car just did that for the 1st time.
Well, kind of. I took appart my top end and put every thing back together and connected up the battery. When I fired it up the 1st time it sputtered a bit for about 15 seconds then it came back to normal.
I say it was just relearning its fuel maping.
