AAM Spacer Question.......Need Help
I jusy installed the AAM Angled Spacer. The car is noticably louder and everything seems to be all right while driving but at idle, it seems to bog once in a while. Is this normal or would restting the ECU help??? Thanx guys

what do u mean by bog at idle? I thought bog was when your car is reving but the car isnt really moving and it feels like your car has hit the rev limiter and the car is jerking.
U might want to check for leaks. Tighten the bolts with a torque wrench to about 100lbs on the outside and 60lbs on the inside. Also make sure the rubber piece surrounding the oil cap is clear and not under the top of the plenum.

this sounds to me like a leak somewhere in the system - did you check the gasket to make sure it's installed properly? you may have all the bolts tightened to the proper torque but sometimes (i have done it) the gasket is not placed properly (around the back of the plenum) and it causes a leak -
check that and let me know -
I dont want you to be unhappy with your product to the point that you sell it for another one -

personally, i would check out the mrev2...seems like a good bang for the buck and you get to keep everything else stock

aam spacer
make sure you didnt catch that little rubber funnel shaped thing that surrounds the oil filler. if you dont pull it back with your finger when you place the spacer on the lower plenum it will be pinched between the spacer and the lower plenum. i did this but noticed before i started the car,but not before all bolts were tightened(naturally) hope it helps!

I actually got my spacer installed at your shop, so I would not know if the gasket is installed properly. At first within a week, the bolts were so loose they were about to fall out. So I tightened them. but I am still getting problems. Anyways I spoke to someone at the shop and next week I will come by to get it looked at. Just sucks because gas is so expensive and you all are so far away.
