Default Small intake issue.

Hi everyone,

I installed an intake on my car (Granatelli). And it's a great intake, I like it a lot. It's almost identical to the Volant for those of you who don't know.

Anyway, I noticed an idling issue, from the back it almost sounds like lope from a larger cam. It's not all the time, just every 15-20 (every few seconds) revolutions it sounds like it's loping.

I guessed it just needs to re-learn the idle. If you guys agree, would someone please tell me what the procedure is to reset the car's idle? I know you turn the key to on, remove a couple fuses, and that's about it.

Thanks a lot guys!

I can't remember the exact procedure off hand but it amounts to letting it idle until it gets to temp, shutting it off and then restarting or something along those lines. Or you could drive it around as normal and the same thing will happen.
