Allllright here we go. I've been trying to solve this for at least 3 months now.

After I got my intake on it ran like crap, just the idle. It idles in gear at about 500 and out of gear, 700 to 750. When cold and trying to warm up she likes to stall. once warm she is good. EVERY NOW AND THEN.... she stall. very seldom. Now I'm just thinking about getting a new iac motor. I even moved my IAT sensor all the way to the T/B by drilling a hole in the 90 degree bend and tapping it out. I re wired it and used butt connectors. It's still the same. I even reset the computer like 20 times. Still the same. I guess i'll just have to break down and put the old system back on and see how that goes.

Just for a quick note. While down south in South Alabama in mid-april, outside temp was like 90, my CAI came off while driving. The first thing I notice is that while coming to a redlight she revved at 1,000 rpm, hold to stand on the brakes. Second, she goes dead. Crank her up and she dies again. I had to give her gas now to keep her going.

Pull into a parking lot and investigate. Lo and behold, the [censored] came off and the 90 degree bend. I put it back on EXTRA tight. Car is still running rough as hell (and still stalling). So I reset the computer by pullin number 4 and 12 (i think) and leaving her alone for 20 minutes. 20 minutes later, cranks right up and I go a do a little driving so the computer can get used to me again.

Long story short, resetting the computer works.
