After putting on the 80mm MAF/Snorkel, LPM, ported runners and Ypipe from the Sho Shop my car doesn't idle well when started from cold. It never stalls but it will spit and sputter a bit until it's warm. If I tromp the gas it takes off fine. After is warm it idles normally. I did go thru the idle teach procedure Scott posted a while back (twice). I cleaned the IAB when I disassembled the manifold. Anyone have ideas what might be causing it?

Now that I read BeatDaSHO's post, it sounds similar. I too just replaced the plugs, wires, and plug well seals.

Try it without the LPM, then with the original MAF sensor to see if the problem clears. It could be running overly rich when cold or there could be a weak spark or spark leak.
