So recently as the temps have been dropping close to freezing I've been experiencing rough idle on cold start-up...
After the car warms up a bit the idle is fine... This is my first winter with a piggyback tune (sstt was on previously) and I never experienced this in the past 2 winters. I'm wondering if the tune has something to do with it??? I also unplugged the exhaust flapper connector for the first time this winter, so maybe the rough idle is due to that??? Trying to diagnose the problem one piece at a time, just plugged the exhaust flapper back in... I'm going to see if that fixes the rough idle... If not I'll scan for codes and remove the tune... If anyone has experienced this, any feedback would be appreciated... Thanks ![]() |

With the BB exhaust mod, Ive noticed a rougher ide. This is prob due to the fact that the cat takes longer to hear up maybe because both pipes are open??? Im stock right now but going JB+ soon.
