Just Had A Turbo Back 3" Exhaust Fitted

With A Ces Dump Pipe And Mandrel 3" Full

System With A Cat And 1 Muffler At The Back

And When We Started It Up The Idle Was

Up Near 2000rpm Solid And Then

Started To Fluctuate Up And Down Between

900 And 2000rpm, Its Like An Idle Control

Problem But It Was Fine Before The Exhaust

Was Fitted,

Any Ideas???????

First bet would be to check AFM as this will produce symptoms like you described and is easy to get to. It's a hard one to diagnose without looking at it myself but next step after that you could try checking all connections on AFM, TPS, Ignition module, cam angle sensor. After that I would try pulling an error code if it logged one. Go back to the shop that did it and ask to see their electronics protection device that they use when welding. Remember not to ring them and ask as they are easy to buy or borrow from somewhere else. Just go in and surprise them.

    • I think in the modern era we live in, if I were converting a hydro lifter head to solid, particularly when chasing revs, I'd be seeing what I could do to use shimless buckets. Those of us with Neos usually have this persistent niggling fear of a shim getting spat out and ruining everything. Shim-over is...yucky that way. At least the Tomei kit appears to be conventional, but it would still be nice if they'd decided to go shimless.
    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.
