Please Help! Car Idling strange

Alright Im going to keep the story short..Today I took of my Nisei upper IC pipe, Nisei Mini battery, and put stock parts back on. I also Changed the oil.

For My problem, Car seem to have a strange Ilde, it will idle really high around 1400 rpms and then drop way down to almost stalling out but have never stalled. My MAF is pulled in. I have been trying to figure out what is wrong but can't see to figure it out.

So far I have:

Reinstalled Nisei parts.
Changed plugs to the stock ones
Boost leak tested car
look around for unpluged things.

Anyone have a clue to what might be the problem??


Thanks for anyones advice.

did you get the car retuned after you got the intercooler and all that other stuff...because that can be it...a buddy of mine had this same problem and we logged the car and everything and made it idle better by reflashing it by adjusting idle and other parameters

I never got a tune for new IC pipe so its still stock tune.

Ive had battery disconnected for a few mins a few times...

Thanks for the imput guys...I really need to figure this out or im going to have to have the car Flatbedded to the Stealership cause I have a road trip in 6 days

I really cant even drive the car out of the garage because it doesnt want to move. I touch the gas and the idle dips down...

I also reinstalled the Plastic Under tray, it was off the car for 10k miles but i dont think that would have cause any problems but maybe...at this point i will take anything.

It has to be something with the strange electric clicking noises when i turn the key 2 times..After battery has been disconnected and then reconnected it makes static and clicking noises for about 10 seconds and then everytime after that when i turn the key it makes two clicking noises???

Anyone think of anything it might be??

maybe there is something with the cables near the battery since you did remove the battery... see if anything isnt right... and make sure all connections are good and u might want to check that your tubes/seals blah blah since you did remove your IC pipe...

I did remove the mini bat and but in stocker..I might have unplugged or messed up some of the wires in the process's Idk but i have checked around them and nothing seems to be out of place...

as for the IC piping ive installed in uninstalled it and boost tested about 2 times today and with both the stock and Nisei it has the same problem.. So im kinda ruling out the IC piping.

Have you been tuned yet............With stock cams, I used to have problems with my idle, but that was because of my upgraded injectors. Jestr took care of that problem though. Maybe a tune would help if you haven't had one yet. Good Luck.
