Need some tuning help in Charlotte area.
I was going over my car making sure everything is tight before I run a 1/2 mile event this weekend. I noticed that my MSD bolts were loose so I tightened them to the correct torque. After I did this my car will die at idle if I give it a little bit of gas. The RPM's will not stop where the idle is set and will sometimes die if I don't give it some gas.
My tuner is out of town and I really need to get this fixed prior to Sat. Anybody in the Charlotte area that can help me out? I have no idea what is causing this but it didn't start until I tightened my MSD bolts.

Where are you located? What year car? Probably just a min airflow adjustment. Probably had a small vacuum leak before tightening.

When I tightened my MSD bolts I also tightened the MAF bolt and I guess that I got it too tight. I took the MAF out and cleaned it and reinstalled it not tightening it as much and my problem went away. Thanks for your offer to help.
