So just recently I've started to develop a severe idle issue. When I start the car I have to give it gas in order for it to stay running. As well my rpms drop really fast on decel, and if I let it idle for a a minute or two they will drop alot and it will just die. When it does idle right, which is around 800-900 it's still shaky. The car has heads, cam intake. I do hear a loud whistle which I hear is typical of a Trickflow intake. Please help guys, this is annoying.(this is on another stand help site btw)
 
The intake doesn't commonly whistle, but some aftermarket throttle bodies do. If it's not your throttle body, you could have a vacuum leak. Do you have any codes? And man, you definitely need to replace those 19's in your signature. That thing's gotta be lean.
 
I'm with Matt.

Also, does it even idle decently for a second when cold? If not, depending upon what the codes say, consider that the IAC went south.

Good luck.
 
Thanks guys, I got it after sitting outside for a while thinking. It's a foxbody style intake swap, so it has a few of the connectors spliced for IAC and tps. Well, one of the wires for my IAC had come lose. Problem solved, and yes, I have 24's waiting to go in. Just wanting to be sure everything else wants to cooperate before I start throwing new parts at it.
