Eric did you disconnect the battery? If not give that a try and then go drive the car around for a while.

I installed the meter on my car and everything is working fine. The idle starts high sometimes but goes down after a few seconds. If you didn't, you really need to reset your computer. Do this by unplugging the battery (negative terminal is usually the easiest) and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes. Then put it back on. The computer should take about a tanks worth of gas to set back up for your driving style and modifications.

What's up man. I got the C&L 80 on my GT, and the reps at C&L said DO NOT combine the C&L kit with any other cold air kits. They warned me of the problems you're having. I think it's cause of your densecharger. try installing the C&L kit as it came and see what happens.

You coming to howies this week?
