I have an 05 GT with a WMS CAI and i tuned the car accordingly (SCT). But now i get a code about my intake cam or some such and the idle is bouncing down as low as 250 sometimes.

My thought is its running lean, but why would it do that if the CAI is accounted for? I took it off and poked at my intake valve and it seems to open and close nicely.

Im just ignorant enough to be flummoxed...

help.

I had the same problem using a JLT CAI and Tune. Not sure why it does that. Wondering if it got any better for you or not????
