Default Ofcourse with any mods you have problems!!!!

Well my piping was installed and my motor ran like **** at idle. but when you give it throttle it runs ok. My plugs were blck when i pulled them and they werent before. It smoked alittle blck smoke. But then i took the piping off and cleaned the plugs it ran ****ty still but with no smoke and no black plugs. Could this be a vacum problem or if your throttle body gasket is worn out. What should i look for?

If its a Cold Air Intake (CAI) you put on I would find a way to hook that vaccum hose up that comes off the valve cover to the CAI, Only problem I noticed when I forgot to hook mine up before was gas mileage took a **** by like 30mpg. Also theres another Vaccum hose that goes on the stock intake pipe on the maf sensor (I beleive its the maf sensor) if unplugged will make it run like ****. Also check your plug wires andreplace if nessesary. Mine ran like *** in the low RPMs and engine sputter went away under wide open throttle andnew plug wires fixed that issue.

Was it by chance running a really fast idle? Your TB gasket should be ok, I think its more likely a un hookedvaccum hose would be the problem.

Well i got a break through. I looked in my manual and i found that i had some vacume lines criss crossed. Does everyone know where the electronic piece that hooks on the motor mount near the passenger side. Well 2 vacume lines go into that. Well the one from the carbon canister goes on the top and the one from the throttle body goes in the top. Well i had it crossed. So after i switched them i started the motor. Then it idled like **** for awhile. And it was running terrably rich. So i check in my dash and finally a CEL. It was the throttle position sensor it said code #23. Voltage to high or low, check TPS sensor. Well what the heck do i do now. Do i change it or what.
