I've went completely thru the checklist, to no avail. The problem started after I put in a new clutch/flywheel, and hung Dynomax super turbos dumped. I thought that the O2 sensors were the problem so I replaced but to no avail. Anyone have any ideas?

check your rubber lines running into your upper intake and look for any vacume leaks. Thats messes with your idle and sometimes makes it sound like you have a mild cam but it runs like crap around 1500 RPM. Let me know if thats it.

Click to expand...

No vacuum leaks and already replaced the IAC a few months back cuz it was cracked. I do have an E-cam but as stated this problem just arose after the flywheel/clutch and dynomax dumps were installed. Thanks for the replies. Anyone else?
