If nobody REAL close can help, maybe we could meet up in the Sylvan Beach area (during the Thursday cruise)... Casino or Canastota Kart meet... something... so you wouldn't have to come all the way to Rome.

Exactly what have you done to your '03 GT to require a tune?
And what do you mean by "ride the way it's suppose[d] to"? _________________ Hi, I'm Matt. I'm the resident smartass and I have fourblack children: (ok, one's only half black..)

well idk lately me car has been acting different like it doesnt make that huge suction noise anymore like it use to when i turn off the car, and when i first start it, it doesnt do the "cold start" intake noise anymore.. its quieter and my rpm needle seems to be jumping a little more, not like a ton, prob about a milimeter and i am not sure why...maybe its the weather? maybe its the hvtb i recently put in...idk |

This may sound stupid...but have you cleaned your filter, TB and MAF lately? If the filter is dirty it will seriously reduce flow, and if the TB or MAF are dirty it can cause serious problems with RPMs and idle. _________________ 2002 WRX Wagon - SOLD!!

Why do you have a new MAF? What size is it, is it your original, is it from the same year, is it from the same model. If the problems started after you changed your TB and MAF I would suggest starting there and working backwards. |
