  1. That is the part that I don't get. It was working flawlessly before yesterday. I even looked at pictures sent by the seller before I bought it, and it was indeed this way. I mean, don't get me wrong, the car performs really great and sounds absolutely healthy whenever it's not idling, which confuses me.
  2. I'll start with trying to give the idle air control valve a clean up. Also, I just noticed something strange. I was watching a video on cleaning up the IACV, and it mentioned unplugging the TPS connector and adjusting the IACV screw to set the idle. I checked on mine, and for some reason, the cable seems deleted, but the connector is still in. It was always like this, so I doubt it's THE issue, but still doesn't seem normal nonetheless ! Any thoughts about that ?
  3. Yeah, the idle air control valve was my first thought, but I wasn't entirely sure, considering the fact that when cold, it seems perfectly fine. I'll look into it tomorrow !
  4. Hey all, yesterday, I came back home and when I turned on my street, my engine started stalling and dying out. It was in 1st and I had to keep revving it gently to avoid stalling. It lost all power and wouldn't go above 5km/h.I wanted to go park it, but 500 meters before my house, everything went back to normal.First thought, was to check the MAF sensor. I noticed that my HKS filter was disintegrating and had let some particles past the MAF sensor and most likely into the intake, very few though, since most of it was caught in the mesh.I disassembled it and cleaned it using MAF sensor cleaner and as advised in another post, reset my ECU but unplugging the battery, pressing the brake 3 times and giving it 15 minutes.Obviously, upon restart the engine was cold, so it idles at about 800-1,000 RPM. I went ahead and warmed it up driving and did a few pulls. No stuttering or any power issue, sounds and feels healthy.After parking, it started idling strangely like this :Engine from Cabin - StreamableHere's what it sounds like from the outside, hear that strange "high pitched" sound ?Engine from bay - StreamableI'm no mechanic, but could it be a faulty MAF sensor or idle air control valve ? I'm curious as to why it only happens after the engine warms up though.I got the car over a week ago, it's 100% stock besides a boost controller set on low boost and this just started.Thoughts ?
