engine stalls when revving

i just had a greddy se exhaust installed on my 04 a/t. after the install i revved it to see what it sounded like. this was all done in "park". i gave it some gas and the needle went anywhere from 4-6 rpm. the engine started to idle real low and in some cases just shuts off and stalls. this isn't the first time it happened. About a few months ago i installed a racing beat intake. I revved the engine and it would idle very low and also stalls.

ps i might want to add, it doesn't matter if it's in park or neutral. it does the same thing. it drives perfectly though. no cel's either.

This is a short read, and should take care of your issue.

^ well the thing different from him is that he was driving and it stalled. mine performs flawlessly in gear. i redline the automatic and it doesn't stall like what this guy went through. on another note i replaced my battery a couple months after the intake. should i reset the ecu after the exhaust as well?

more info on my car, it has 37000 miles on it. only mods are racing beat intake, bhr coils, and greddy exhaust. replaced spark plugs last month.
