After I installed my prochamber my car got a little weird. The SES light is on of course but it's also backfiring/idling rough when cold. If I just drive off like I used to it will not go no matter how much I get on it, then it sounds like its going to die for about 8 seconds, then a loud popping sound and its all good from there. The solution is to leave it warming up for about 3-4 minutes, while so it idles really bad and sounds like its going to die for about 8 seconds or so (just like when i drive off), after that it's all good. What's up with that????

P.S. About once a week or so it struggles to ignite, it always starts but every now and then when I turn the ignition it sounds like its struggling/choked up, but it starts. Thats always happened though, way before the prochamber... not sure if its related to the other problem. I did get splice in mils but they only worked for a week, but i did get the SES light checked just in case and its nothing.
