I've read a lot of posts / threads on this, and have an idea of what I should do, but I just want to express my symptoms so I can make more sense of the situation. Car is an 04' with 11k, and the things I've done thus far are plugs, wires, coils, air box wall removal, K&N filter, and Turboxs catback. Before I installed my catback I noticed my idle would sit around 750-800, and cause a little vibration during idle. Idle would stay rather steady though.
Tonight, after beating on my car and playing w my new exhaust, I filled it up with gas, came home, and before I shut it off, let it sit and idle for a minute. Once the car calmed down and dipped below 1000rpm, it hit my "normal" idle, which was 750-850 as stated before. Then I saw it drop to the lowest it's been, being about 600, and just when it felt like it was going to stall, it shot back up to 1k, then back to normal and was steady.
I don't believe this is a compression issue. My car always fires up immediately especially when hot, along with pulling very strong and hitting high RPMs no problem. I've think it may be related to the K&N filter combined with the fact that I removed the stock airbox walls, or fins, or baffles, i.e. Perhaps the car is sucking in too much air at different turbulence now and messing with my MAF?
My MAF did get hit w some oil recently, as my first oil changed I poured it in too quick. Oil got in the intake, but I Cleaned it out and sprayed the MAF down. I have NOT reset my car or it's computer yet after any of these mods.
What do you guys think would be the best course of action? Should I be concerned, or does this sound like a basic MAF issue? Should I try resetting the computer first? OR just going back to paper filter, then resetting it?
Thanks
