like the title said, the car has rough idle when the it is not moving. I did unplugged the battery before i install the lights, would that be the cause? I know i've seen somebody post a thread with the same issue, but i just can't find it. Can anyone give me any advice?? thanks

 

give it a few drive cycles and see if it evens out

 

that is the cause.

just drive it around for a few days.

 

it has been about a week now, the problem is still exist.. Somebody please tell me what to do.

 

Try reseting everything.

FYI - MM usually has an answer.

 

I can't seem to reset the PCM by using the Reset mileage-ON-20 brake tabs method. I turn my key into On and step the brake 20 times and then nothing happens?? what did i do wrong?

 

Keep pumping till it sweeps..it might take a few more

 

this is the update for my first post:
I've finally fix the idle issues i was having for a long time. Today o took apart my intake box, I first clean the throttle body with the throttle body clean and then i put the dividers from my intake box back. My car is running smoother then ever. I am very very happy with the result.

 

just like to point out that i talked about this in another thread yesterday.

classic example of the "one happened after the other so it must be cause and effect" idea.

he didnt mention any actions with the intake in his first post because what directly proceeded the rough idle was the foglight install.

had he given all info we would have said "clean the MAF".


also atl04 you can take out the baffles if you want they do not effect the idle. but when you do so be aware you might knock some dirt/oil off the filter again causing the rough idle again

 

perhaps I should start here.... hmm.

 

yeah removing the walls/baffles in the airbox should not play a part in rough idle unless you get dirt/oil etc throgh the intake system
