Had a Problem Need Help

Hey guys
when I changed my oil last night I noticed that my down pipe for my AEM Intake was off. I noticed that it was running funny "that day" (it would seem to loose power for a split second and then be fine again every ten munites or so)

I obviously finished my oil change. When I was at a stop light my car was kinda pulsating when it was Idiling.

Any tips on what I should do to fix this?

Thanks
Danno

my car does that too, it would idle normally then drop down to 600 or 500 then go back up. I don't know what it is, i have a injen cold air. Mine happens after driving for over an hour or so. Hasn't done it a lot in the past month though. Do you race or get on the gas a lot?

How long had the engine been running when it idled like that? Remember the ECU takes about 10 min to readjust after you alter things like the intake or disconnect the battery

It'll be fine. Definitely reset the ECU and I think it'll solve your problems. Low idle was normal for me with similar mods, but I never had stall issues or anything like that. Idle sounded like it was surging and dipping, but it was stable between 500-750 or so even at its worst points.
