Ok. I have the turbonetics kit with 440cc injectors. I had technosquare flash my ecu to work with what i got. When i start my car it runs pretty smooth. But when its warmed up, sometimes it acts like it gonna die out then idles normally again. I put it on the dyno to make sure that my af is ok and its perfect. Is this normal? It only does it at idle. Its fine when i step on it.

So Technosquare reflashed the ECu for the 440 CC injectors? If so than I wouldn't be too worries about it. However one thing to check is what your car idles at. On the Turbonetics out of box reflash the idle is bumped to 900-1000 RPMs. What is your idle set to? If its lower than that the car my stumble a bit at idle...

I have heard of oil vapor saturating the MAF sensor and causing a rough idle (some owners with new intakes have had this issue look in the DIY section), what I would do is check inside your plenum to see of theres excess oil collecting and you could also get ur MAF cleaned with electronics cleaner. Do you have a catch can? These are just idea's

cool thanks. I didnt think about that. I dont have a catch can. Maybe it might be a good idea to get one. Im also going to check the MAF. Right now it sounds like i got a cam. But when im driving it sounds stock as hell.

I sincerely doubt theres an issue with your MAF. The first flash on my car the idle wasn't set to 900-1000 and my car did the same thing. Since my ECU was reflashed to set the target idle to 900-1000 this issue has not occured.

My car with the TN flash idled like poo. It would start to slowly lean out to high 15's, low 16's and as it did the car would "shake" and the revs would drop. A quick blip of the throttle and all was good for another minute or so. Dunno why, but many people have this inconsistent, lopey idle. Even with my 550cc's and the UTEC it idled bad. Surprisingly with 750cc injectors and UTEC now its smooth.
