I just put in the RK sport lid and a K&N filter. after resetting the computer and driving around for like 20 miles I figured the car had adjusted to the new airflow rate. so i shut off the car, and went back to work [img]smile.gif[/img] (so esy to install, I did it on my break at work) when i started the car to go home, I noticed that the car was idleing at almost 1k rpm. I remember it idleing closer to 500 before. So my question is... is this normal? I mean I didnt do anything wrong, did I? any input would help. I am so nervous about installing/ changing stuff on my car. She's just too damn technical.

it may have not adjusted the idle fuel curves and is dumping a little too much gas into the engine causing it to idle slightly faster
id say give it a week and see if it clears up, if not im not sure
i do know that after burnouts my car idles fast...i think its just not cutting fuel just rightR.I.P \'99 Firebird, you will be missed<p>New toy - 2001 GSXR-750, Yoshimura Exhaust, Power Commander, Rebuilt Airbox -
Mine did, and still does the same thing after installing my K&N Fipk... the weird thing is the car will pull itself up real steep hills at idle after releasing the clutch! The K&N has over 7k miles on it and no change... tell me if you find a solution.97\' Red Camaro V6<br />::::Mods::::<br /> -Borla Single Cat <br /> -K&N FIPK<br /> -High Flow Cat<br /> -G2 Aluminum Drive Shaft (1 Peice)<br /> -G2 Trailing Arms<br /> -H&R Racing Springs<br /> -BAER Bump Steer<br /> -Bilstien Racing Shocks<br /> -Hurst short shifter<br /> -Eaton Posie Diferential<br /> -.373 Gears<br /> -NOS 85 shot<br /> -NOS Purge<br />(n/a) 1/8th Mile ET: 9.4 @ 81mph<br /><a href=\"http://members.cox.net/nitrous/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cox.net/nitrous/index.htm</a>Comment

i like the sronger idle, it adds a little more rumble to the normally quiet red lights [img]smile.gif[/img] But I was just curious if it was normal... and from y'alls's experiences it is, so good! I'm just glad I have everything installed the way it should be. thanks guys!Comment

I must be the low one. I have the lid/kn combo and I idle at a lowly 650RPM [img]smile.gif[/img] The only time my car sounds like a V8 since it's so low. :D Start turning the wheel hard (make the engine work...plus having the A/C on) drops it to 500RPM [img]smile.gif[/img]
On your high idle...don't worry bout it...like you said, it'll make it sound louder. ;)Comment
