this has probably been talked about but i only ask again cause its 2016 not 2008 answers can be different now. and my situation is slightly different from what ive read.

my problem: these last few weeks on warm starts my rpms go really low and the engine goes quite but then catches its idle again. after a Jwt popcharger, airduct, and test pipes in the last week the car died. today it died 3 times after a warm start. i feed it 91 octane. the check engine light came on today also but thats because of the test pipes.....i think? i know i need a non fouler. but anyways it dies and i know it cant bee good for the engine. any help would be gr8

did you try resetting the ecu/learned fuel settings after the mods?

Try that, then if it still does it get us a video.

Check the hose that connects to the bottom of the intake tube that goes to the back of the driver side valve cover. Mine had a split in it and caused my starting issues. It would almost stall right after the engine fired off, but then caught itself and evened out to a steady idle.

could also be camshaft sensors

but go to autozone or someplace and have the codes read

First get your codes read, you can buy a code reader like the BAFX 34T5( For Android) or go to an auto store.

You also might try an idle air relearn.

You are running lean, but it shouldn't cause it to die

Air duct in the bumper? Those don't do anything.
