Ok, some of you read my last post concernign my idling problems. I had installed a C&L 73mm mass air meter. I was told to run it without a sample tube and it would be calibrated for 19lbs. After hearing that I needed a tube I bought one and installed it last night. Now the car is running like complete crap. It will not find a steady idle and then it will stall out from time to time. Also when I pull up to a light, it really starts to stutter and want to die. When I leave the light, the cars sputters real bad, hesitates real bad, and sound like there is a gurggling (spelling?) and almost a hint of backfiring coming from under the hood. It will also do this when I slow down and go through a corner in 2nd gear. Anybody have an idea what this is all about? Its pretty annoying. Smells like its real rich also. I need help on this please!!!
