Low idle problem 2006 GT
I have a 2006 GT automatic that is stock other than a K&N panel filter. I installed the 93 octane stock tune and the car idles down to 500 rpms when I am at a stop and when the air is running it idles so low that it dies out every once in a while. Is this normal for the idle to be set so low with that tune. Other than the idle problems it runs perfect with plenty of power with the 93 tune in it. Any ideas what I can do to fix the idle issues?

Post your last tune written I'll take a look at it.

It was just the stock 93 octane performance tune that comes preloaded on the 7140. I wanted to make sure it wasn't something wrong with the car itself so I restored it back to the original backup and it idles perfect now. I think I'm gonna try a JLT cold air kit next with the "JLT tune" that's already preloaded in the 7140. Hopefully there's no idle problems with that one because the extra power that came with the tune was great.

Well the JLT intake tune really won't run well....

OK, I found the problem. when I went to install my cold air kit I realized the previous owner didn't have the intake hose to the airbox on correctly. It was folded under on the bottom side letting in outside air. Problem solved.
