Erratic idle while clutch is pushed in.
So I just installed my Injen Cold Air (actually im using it as a short ram since its been raining) and I noticed something...
While traveling 30+ mph, when I push in the clutch, while still moving, the RPM's go from 1000 to 1750... then back down to 1000, then up to 1750 again. Exactly those RPM's everytime until I get below 30 or so... then it starts to calm down. Now im not sure if the intake is causing this, and if it is, why? Or if it started before the intake was installed. I checked for air leaks in the intake, didnt find any so I dont know what to do. TIA :alien:
Car is a 2005 rs and as far as power mods are concerned, i have full custom exhaust, injen intake and lightweight crank pulley.

first off, cold air intakes suck
second, make sure everything is tightened down, when I installed my k&n short ram, I didn't tighten one of the clamps and it was doing that
