Hey everyone!

Was hoping I could get some insight on the rough idling issue I'm having with my car right now.

When I first purchased the car, not too long ago, it was rough idling badly. Bouncing between 500-2000 rpms. Realized the vacuum line had split and I replaced it and it's been fine ever since.

I recently bought a new ETS intake and installed it on my car earlier last week. Just today while I was at a stop sign it started rough idling badly. I checked the vac lines and they were fine. Was wondering if anyone on here had a idea of what it could be?? Any ideas would be appreciated!

 

Do you have a heat shield in place? Check your fuel pump relay too.

 

Was your AC/Heater on?

You most likely will need a heat shield. The fans in the front of your car is messing with the MAF through the exposed cone filter.

Its a common issue with open element filters.

 

Are you still using the stock maf housing?

 

+1 May need MAF scaling if not

 

Heat shield isn't in place. I know its dumb. I'm going to put it in today after I get off work. The AC was on. But even after I turned it off it was still bouncing irratically.

 

Try resetting the ECU and let it relearn it's parameters.

 

what size is that intake? You may wanna go ahead and tune that beezy

reset the ecu by pulling the negative off the battery and turning the key

 

Recheck your vacuum lines had same prob mine was split a the bov on the back by the connection didn't see it at first

 

May need a tune to adjust maf settings.

 

Mine used to do that pretty often until I put the heat sheild on. I rarely have it happen since then.

 

I have this issue with the cobb SF intake i see people rigging up their own heat shields but i want cobb to make one!!

 

Check for leaks, scale the maf, after all that and issue persists you may need an air straightener of some kind

 

Doesnt the ETS intake come with the heatshield?

 

i suggest getting a tune.
1)tune
2)heatshield
3)fuel pump relay upgrade [i use ams]
4)for hose check up and tip tie
5)connectors for intake and clamps
