If you don't, you need to get ahold of TOM at tscompusa. http://www.tscomptuned.net/
He is very well know remote tuner and highly respected guy. Even on this forum everybody has great things to say about him!

ya i dont know how to do all that stuff with the roms and V7. only tuner near me i would trust is Pure Tuning and i dont have that kinda cash right now to have it tuned. car runs perfectly fine otherwise went 13.4 at 105 today with a 2.0 60' so i dont think anything is really wrong here unless the car should be alot faster at i think 1500' above sea level.

Switch to roman noodles and save some pennies! A tune will do amazing things!!! You will easily break into 12's. Sounds like you like drag racing, trephra v7 will give you launch control, flat foot shifting, forced emissions passing, knock warnings that can detect the beggening of engine fail before it's to late, everyone will tell you the best mod you can do is a TUNE. Best of luck!

My car does the same thing, mines not in limp mode. I'll be sitting next to a fully built cammed big block and my idle will almost mimick theirs.

Same happened to me shortly after I bought my car in 2005. Loud *** V8's (this one was a straight pipe Cobra), caused me idle problems at the dragstrip. Was told then, and still believe it was the MAF. If I can feel the noise shaking my heart/chest, i'm sure the MAF is noticing.

FYI the rear o2 has nothing to do with limp mode. It is only there to monitor the cat.

This happened to me a few years back when I was running the stock MAF. In the staging lanes when cars were next or pulled up my car would idle real low and almost want to die out. This happened only with loud V8s with no exhaust. Now it has not done that since I'm on a AEM EMS and a different setup.

You would know if you were in limp mode. Pull your Maf plug while running, that is the limp mode.

My car would have rpm dips at the track when the car in front of me would rev, nbd.

Its the MAF, this happens to me every time im next to a loud v8. It stops if you use speed density.
