Hi all, Just joined the site, I love it. Lots of good info. I just recently installed a profesional products typhoon upperand lower intake, 70 mm throttle body, Flowtech headers and an off-road h-pipe on my 95 GTS, and wow that's where the corks were for me makeing power. My problem is. When I first start up the car it wants to Idle at 2,000 rpm's and the check engine light flahes 3 times. But after it warms up it runs fine. I know one of my o2 sensors are bad but it started doing this after the intake swap. any thoughts.

When the car is idling high unplug the IAC and see if the idle drops. If it does then the IAC is probably messed up. If the idle stays high then you have a vacuum leak somewhere.

Ummm, it isn't. I was agreeing with you. The "I'm with Stupid" smiley isn't an insult. I little friendly ribbing maybe (like the insults that fly back and forth between friends), but definately not ill intended. On the contrary, I thought it was pretty much spot on and therefore I figured I'd throw my support in behind it.

My apologies if you took it any other way.

You might need to adjust your Idle intake screw and the one on the TB.
