did u take it to autozone for the code? check your intake filter and go ahead and check the mass flow sensor and honeycomb for debris and stuff. That's pretty much all I could recommend. How many miles on your car? Maybe fuel filter?

yeah i took it to auto zone for the code.. they gave me
2 for too lean
1 for too high rpms
miles on the car 64000.. engine prob has 33000. i used to have the piggy back put in it.. but i took it off. all the wires are correct i checked them 3 times. later this week ill try putting the stock intake back in cuz i have AEM cold air that i made into short ram after i drove over the water puddle and had engine changed. my rpms keep dropping from about 700 to 400 or something and going up and dropping again. even if i rav the engine and keep it at like 2000 it will drop like 300 rpms and go back up...
this sucks.. any help would be appreciated

Intake
Could be serious issue if intake didn't have bypass valve and water is drawn into the engine.
Dealer likely to tell you to take a hike with aftermarket parts.

well i had the engine changed. got a used one with 28000 miles. about 33000 on the engine now. i dont get why its doing it though. all hoses are connected everything looks fine under the hood all fuses are good... then all the cables by the ECU are connected propely. the wires by ecu are just not soldered. but they were not for a long time and i didnt have this problem.
