I got a custom short-ram intake put into my celi (SE) about three months ago. ever since then, it has been like the car has a hard time taking air in when i turn the car on. it will start but the intake will not start sucking air in right away therefore the rpm's start out very low (about 200) untill i rev it up a little. sometimes revving up the engine will get the intake to breathe, but lately not even that is helping.
I'm thinking that it is an oxygen sensor issue, or maybe a computer issue. but the weird thing is that it didn't start messing up untill after i got the intake (i'm using the original sesnsor and the the original comp settings). does anybody have any ideas as to what might be the problem? and maybe some troubleshooting ideas? --------------------  this is what happens when your little brother is better at photoshop than you are |

Alot of our Celicas idle low on startup like that. Doubtful that it has anything to do with the intake, unless theres something shoved into the pipe to restrict the air from entering.
 My IAT sensor has been zip-tied outside my intake for more than two years now, and no problems. I highly doubt that it has anything to do with that sensor either. Heres what I suspect- It's most likely an electronic flaw on our cars, that the engine sometimes doesn't adjust the idle properly at startup and thats why it bogs down. It's happened to me only a few times, and other people have experienced the same problem....but it doesnt seem to be too serious of a condition. Try resetting the ECU, however I beleive this might only work on the OBD-I vehicles so it may not help you. Also, to assist this problem you might try unscrewing the gas cap to try and relieve some of the fuel pressure. Screw it back on and fire up the car....it might help it idle easier when you first start it up. Of course with any problem on here, its pretty damn hard to diagnose it without looking at the motor in person. Could be that your timing belt is falling off and we wouldn't know.  Hope you can find the problem. Good luck.
