Default Anyone else have this problem?!

So I recently installed the procharger kit. However now I'm having idle issues. Usually when i shift to neutral the rpms will just fall dangerously low, usually results in stalling and no, im not just mis-shifting. Sometimes I'll just be parked and the engine stalls.. Anyone know what this is and why???

Idle is contolled by the stock ecu, even when using a standalone ems like the Vpro.

Do you have acess to Cipher?

sounds like idle relearn time dealership or disconnect battery for a night and re connect, then turn the key on for 1 second off for 10 seconds. Do that about 3 times. That may work if not tell the dealership you need a idle air vol. learn.

How much boost are you running? Did you listen to ATI that you dont need an EMS with their kit? Even with the FMU you are basically running stock timing on your car... good luck and hope there is nothing major wrong in your car.
