TX Cobb AP low idle
So i installed the AP on my car and the idle is rough, its between 400-1000rpms and stalls out every time i let off the gas. Before i installed it i didnt have any problems.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Take an idle data log and post it up so we can look at it. How long have you been running the stage 1?

It's fine, just do the brake stomp method and reset your sensor profiles. Also for good measure clean your MAF and ESS.

Go to the stock map...and then get a tune

The Cobb Stage 1 map isn't likely to work well on your car...it is so generic it never really did much on anyones car
