Ok guys, I need some suggestions. I am having an issue all of a sudden that I'm trying to figure out.
If I'm driving along at say 40-60mph and I push in the clutch, the rpms slowly fall down to under idle (500-700rpms), and then either bounce UP to idle, or drop and the car stalls. I have had this issue before, and it was always that my filter on my crappy fitting JLT intake was coming off again, so I would disassemble the filter and reassemble it and the car would run perfect again for weeks/months. I have screwed with the filter a few times now since this has started happening, and it doesn't seem to be helping. Just tonight I wrapped my filter to tube joint with tape, and I am going to see if that helps on the way home from work in the a.m., but if it doesn't, I will need some suggestions???
I know it isn't in the tune, because this tune has run perfect before, and I also have my last tune that I ran all year last year, and that one does the same thing, so I know it's something mechanical.
I am starting with the wrapping of the filter-to-intake tube, to make sure that isn't the cause. Next I will wrap the coupler-to-intake and the coupler-to-TB and see if that helps. If neither of those help, what should I try next?
PS- If I just drive around town, it never dips below about 700'ish rpms and never stalls. It seems to be when I'm cruising for a while and then push in the clutch. My STFT's are within 2-3% across the board and my LTFT's are all 1.0's.
Thanks for any advice.
