procharger and rough idle, car randomly died.

So after I put my procharger in my car idles a little rough. it jumps between 500 and 800 sometimes and dips when I stop. Also today randomly while I was driving in traffic the engine just died. I put it into park and restarted it with no problem but it also threw a CEL. I need to pull the code but has anyone else had this problem?


BTW my car is:

04 coupe 5AT
procharger@9psi, 440cc injectors, Utec, true dual exhaust, walbro 255. grounding kit, VB mod,

any help would be much appreciated.

Did you JUST install this? If the idle is jumpy, I'd check for vacuum leaks.

sounds like a vaccum leak... check all lines and plenum manifold again.

I got it with a pretuned utec. I know its not good to run it like that. Just havent had the time to get it tuned. I still havent had time to check for leaks yet either. Havent driven it again yet. I like the procharger. I had bad experiences with vortech before on my maxima. So figured i would try something different. Also is there a way to get it to run quiet?

found problem. one of the hoses was blown off. added some hsoe clamps to all hoses and it works fine now.

Another problem now though. can't reset ecu. is it because I have a utec?
