Default Please Help - Car is loping after install
I installed a Blackwing on my 99' Coupe about two days ago. A few minutes ago while sitting at stop light, I noticed that the car was Loping. It would idle normal, and then the rpm's will drop as if it wanted to conk out. It is really noticeable while the A\C is running. I am new to the forum, so PLEASE help.
Thank You,
VF007

...also, double check that you've made the connections air tight at the throttle body, air bridge, MAF, BLACKWING inlet, air pump hose and electrical connections.

I do not know what the idle relearn is. I will double check the connection to make sure that they are air tight. I will keep you posted.

Idle Relearn Procedure sent via PM. I had the same problem when I installed my first intake mod; Vortex Ram Air intake.
