Yesterday I noticed that my car was running much hotter than usual after I got my gfx and exhaust installed. It would usually be around 190-195 on hot days, but now it's around 215-220. I didn't have the wings west air deflector on there because it was way too low and scraped even on the smallest dips in the road. So today I cut off almost 1" off it and put it back on. It's not too bad now, but does still scrape on lots of things. I'll see if it helps with the temp problems.
On top of that I have been having some problems when the car starts up. Yesterday night my friend noticed the car was shaking very very slightly at idle. I kinda noticed it too and thought it was probably because I removed the MAF screen, so I put that back in today. Then today I started it up and the RPM's jumped up to 1500, then dipped to 500, went back up again, then dropped to 0 and the engine shut off. I started it back up and it was okay after that. Still not a good sign though. Sometimes my car would fluctuate between 1200 and 800 RPM's when I started it up, but it never did this before the new parts.
Anybody have any ideas to fix these problems I'm having. Thank you [img]smile.gif[/img]
