Hurry help plz! Stalling problem!

So I took my car to brake masters to get my car aligned and I had them put in my exhaust hanger bolts since it was up on the lift and I just had been laggin to put them in, but anyway now whenever the cars cold right when I start it it'll rev up to 2k and then the rpms will drop and it'll die. And if I'm driving and the rpms get below 1k it'll bog down and die! WTF?! Help please!

Sounds like you might need to clean your throttle body and clean the IAC as well. Is the car modded/tuned? If so, what mods?

start simple see if one of the dorks at brake masters loosened up some inter cooler piping id check that first, on a professional note dont take your car to brake masters, i say that because workin in this field weve had a lot of customers come to our shop to fix what the brake masters shop did to there vehicle after they couldnt fix the cars right a second time....good luck

Sounds like a nasty vaccum leak. Which BOV are you using?

I'd say HKS is your problem, because I had the same problem with that BOV, but as you just said it was find before. So I'm going to say vaccum leak. Do you have a check engine Light?

Ok so I figured it out. My air was slowly sliding off until I took off the maf sensor then the filter came right off. Haha I'm dumb thanks though guys
