Weird idle!Help me!

I've read some threads and still can't seem to figure out what's wrong with my X! Please help!! It's annoying to see the needle dancing when I'm parked every morning before heading into work. It sounds like my fan kicks on when the needle spikes and then calms down again? Thanks for the help!

The heat is on low in this video but even with the heat off the needle still dances around a bit. It does have a cobb intake and a cobb turboback exhaust if that makes a difference. It's been doing it since I have gotten the car. Whether the heat AC is on or off. It just does not spike as high. Thank you for the help. Kind of still new to the whole Evo thing!

any climate control or a/c will cause this, do you have a heat shield for the cobb intake?

I was having the same problem, I cut piece of metal from my old barbecue and made myself a quick shield. It fixed the problem thank you guys ��

I do not have a heatshield as cobb doesn't make one. I've been looking around to see if there is one that's compatible or if I will have to make my own. Ill have to give that a try if that's what it could be! Do you think not replacing my fuel relay could have any impact on this? I'm planning on doing a full turbo baxk in the coming weeks

i dont think the fuel relay would cause this, i'd try the heat shield first. I made one using Clipse3GT's DIY, only cost $30 and is extremely easy to do.
