Default Help Please

We have a wonderful 05 Strat coupe R/T, we love it, and got it for a steal. We put a CAI on it and are taking good care of it. Small issue though. We are notiing now that it is cold out... on the initial cold start it stutters in idle quite a bit, then when you put it in gear and keep your foot on the brake it will settle a bit then stutter some more. As soon as you apply power the stuttering goes away, and runs smoothly, rich though I am sure. We have not noticed any dicernable differance in fuel mileage. As soon as the motor warms up to a moderate temp though the stuttuering goes away. Has any one else experienced this? I am sure it is a simple fix, I am just curious what others have found. I am leaning towards thinking there is an issue with the TPs, maybe it needs cleaning or even replacement?

Let me know guys..

I have the same issue ....it stutters until the mas sensor heats up to the sweet spot after the motor runs for a while and the air inside the intake heats up some........what kind of cai do you have.....

I bet if you could seperate the CAI where the MAF sensor sits and put your filter on there, the stuttering would go away. It'll convert it to a WAI, but the problem should be gone after that.
