Default GTO problems...

I have an 04 m6 goat and the only mods are LT headers. My car has been not idleing correctly. sometimes the rpms will drop a hundred or two for a split second then come back to normal. sometimes the car will idol a coup;le hundred rpms high for a second or two then drop. and recently whenever i start my car in the cold it has a "wine" to it but stops after the car has been sitting for a bit. the 12v outlet in my center console doesnt work anymore either. possibly a blown fuse? any ideas for these problems? maybe i just bought a lemon...

might be a bad O2 sensor or maybe a bad wire to them. i had a rear O2 sensor wire get riped out some how and it idled that way. the engine check light is probably on. if you had a tuner like a diablo you could read the trouble code and narrow your search for the problem. check the wire on your O2's tho they can be a pain to see them. one you can see from the top of motor and the others you will have to crawl under. the tuner will help.

the goat has four o2's..when you put LT headers on the car it deleats two..and confuse's your car..so get the car tuned and she will be fine..a daiblo sport tuner will do the job..i did the same thing to my 04 gto ..it was doing the exact same thing man..just get her tuned and she will be fine
