I have a 06' GT with about 1300 miles but noticed the idle will hang about 1000-1100 rpms intemittently. Also on start up it does the same. The only mods are i removed the mufflers and put pipes/tips out the back

Does it hang for a second or two? Mine does this as well. I wonder if a performance tune will remove the symptom??

Yes, it's the drive-by-wire bull*****. In another thread, someone wrote that they figured out how to make it act normally, but they never said how they did it. If anyone knows how to resolve the problem, please post a how-to.

Here's the fix but you have to use an SCT Pro Package to do this. I sure like mine much better after making this change.

In Advantage to go "Idle, Idle_speed_RPM_adder_for ECT"
Zero out 20.000000 through 120.000000 under ECT. Also go to "Idle_speed_RPM-adder_for_ECT_at_start up" Zero out all of RPM from 20.000000 to 254.000000 under ECT @ start.
