Low Idle After Header Install.

**DeadLifter** · 01-09-2008, 12:35 PM

Was drivin my car today and noticed while in gear at a stop the idle has dropped to 500 rpm's. I'm not sure if it's from the header install or maybe because I put a little fuel saver in it the other day since I'm not drivin it much.
Just wonderin if low idle is a common problem after headers?

Did you have your battery disconnected???? If so then the computer has to relearn the idle settings and such.....it takes a few minutes of driving around,,,,and eventually everything settles back it to whatever you have programmed. Thats the first thing that comes to my mind.

I didn't disconnect the battery for that reason. I went out and drove it a little more and put some better gas in it and it has come out of it for the most part. It's up to 700/750 now while in gear.
Now all I need to do is get the damn Y-pipe to quit bangin. Lol.
