i found my 2 separate problems both of which were simple and stupid mistakes. initially it wouldnt even get past start up 2 idle so i looked and realized my diffuser had slipped down causing a leak thanks for the advise so i would think a second bout it and then it would idle but as soon as i changed the throttle at all it would die instead of idle and that was a very simple fix i missed last night. my line to the idle air control valve had slipped off but not all the way off so i didnt notice at first. i will report back tomorrow when the install is said and done. but i would still greatly appreciate someone postin a pic of this intake installed in there car
