have you tried the throttle calibration yet? just turn the key to on position, do not crank and press gas peddle slowly and let off slowly?

 

[itzrick]

Good point Dave, You might also try pulling the #2 fuse under the hood. That will clear the learned curve you've given the car. The extra air might need to be learned

x2 on the #2 fuse.

Okay fill me in on pulling the number 2 fuse, what does that do exactly?

 

[itzrick]

Just pull it out for a minute or so and reinstall it. Its in the under hood fuse box. If you pull the battery cable off it will do the same thing but you have to reset things like your clock and that fuse just does away with the driving habit memory.

 

[DADNSONCAR]

Oh okay thanks for the tip.

sounds like it could be starving for air. Those freaking bags I have to jab em with a ice pik....kevlar or summit. I dropped a K&N in mine and it just took in a deep breathe and thanked me

OK sorry I didn't get it. Before I got my CAI I put a K&N drop in filter in and didn't have a problem but just thought maybe it thought it was to lean and that the PCM was over reacting. That's why I suggested the fuse pull. No air flow like you said would cause a problem. My K&N filter wasn't in a bag just in the box. I feel ripped off. For $55 I should have got a bag too.

think the #2 fuse pull is a good move too and I really was being smart about the bag....BUT it seems odd for it to act that way so hope he keeps us posted

 

[itzrick]

Me too, After the last time I posted I noticed this was on an SE and I don't think it would be that picky. That would make me think maybe something got knocked loose when changeing it out. I think I'ld put the stock one back in and see what happens.
