low idle after Injen Cold air intake install
I just installed the Injen Cold air intake on my Z and it seems as if the idle is very low, at times it even begins to shake. I say its just above 500rpm. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Has anyone had this problem?

When you say 500rpm, do you mean 500 rpm or just halfway between 0 and 1k? Halfway is actually like 600-700rpm which is "normal".
I know what you are talking about though. My car stock did the same thing. With an AEM CAI it also did it. With the JWT it does it too. I don't think it has anything to do with the intakes
How was the idle before the install?

I second checking for vaccum leaks... A leak will cause an inconsistent idle and possibly stalling out. If idle remains low, I would have someone connect a consult to it and possibly bump the idle up. I have my timing advanced and the idle set to 800-850rpm...

Thanks for all the help, Ill check for leaks to see if thats the problem. I had the JWT pop charger on it before and the idle was great, no problems. But now it idles a good amount below normal. I also give it some time to see if it is the ECU needs to adjust. Once again thanks for all the help.
