Okay. Just started about 30 minutes ago.

I got a new tank of gas today and an oil change at the stealership. It's idleing around 500 rpms and extremely rough. I have the stock tune, a car, and magnaflow magnapack.

Not sure what is causing it. I will try to get a video up tonight to show y'all.

Could be air leaking past the mass air meter... check it fir tightness if its ok i would remove the volant and see if still is rough

I agree with Hock... I have chased this issue before, behind mass air sensor letting unmetered air. I took intake off, and tried again.. No more stumbling!

Ok i checked and after basically reinstalling the intake its running better. One of the clamps slipped off and as hock said it was sucking air after the sensor. Thanks Hock.

Being the conspiracy theorist I am...

...is this something a shop would do to get you to come back in to spend more money? Or, is this just 'normal'? I check my intake connections about once every month or so and nothing has been even remotely loose so far.

I have wondered the same thing.. Or maybe the lube jockies are just "checking the filter" so they can sell you the super house brand one.. Lol

This is actually something I think could be true. It's too big of a coincidence that today after my oil change (that took an hour and a half with no wait I might add) it decided to let loose.
