my mods are in my sig but the symptoms have me looking every where.
1.sometimes it stalls when putting it into gear.
2.It seems to load up at idle and begin to run choppy.
3.fuel mileage is around 11 mpg.
4.brakes are also spongy.
5.It revs cleanly but after I let of drops to 1500 and hangs then slowy returns to normal.
6. The longer I idle the rougher it runs.
7. the motor also slowly use coolant i guess.because the resovoir never stays full.


Here lies the problem, with my mods I should be able to roast the hides at will.I get a little squeel and it just goes My idle stinks. And my gas mileage is none existent.

now heres my plee to the gods, I've given her a full tune up,reset the idle,adjusted the timing all over to find a medium.nothing sometimes when planets are alighned she run like a B.O.H.but most of the time she rough

have you tried "clocking" your c&l maf? turn it so the black sensor portion is towards the engine as opposed to straight up. do you have the correct sample tube to match your injectors?

did you order the c&l new? either way c&l should be able to tell you how to identify which tube you have. or maybe someone on here sooner.
