Have mods listed in my signature. Car runs great but when I take my foot off the gas I get a "check engine" light. If the light is on and I hit the gas again the light will go off. It will always do it if I am in 5th gear on the highway and coming to a stop/exit. My car has even stalled because of this. Any ideas? I was thinking it maybe the IAC. It never did this before I put the blower on it about a year ago. Have only driven the car about 300 miles since. Thanks.

Definately pull codes. If you don't know how, search for the user name "Jrichker" and he has the info. on how to do it w/ a paperclip in many posts.

It kinda does sound like it could be something to do w/ the IAC.

First though, how many pounds of boost are you running? Do you have a bypass valve? Did you re-route the hose from the oil filler tube to throttle body? With a supercharger that hose should go from the oil filler tube nipple to the airbox INSTEAD of to the throttle body as it is stock; the reason is you don't want to put boost into your crankcase.

Without a bypass valve, you could be pushing too much air at the closed throttle body, which isn't good and I believe it could potentially be causing the problems you describe. Generally though, bypass valves are only necessary for over 6psi or so, I think.

I definately pull codes first thing though.
