This is why I think you should take the cold air intake off and clean the inside of the inlet tube, clean the throttle body (make sure to get behind the blades, as well) and finally, clean the MAF sensor. These cars are notorious for a little bit of blow-by that affects idle quality and can cause other complaints. If you do these three things and then reflash the car (to get rid of any learned values), your problem will most likely go away!

Bama can absolutely write a set of stock airbox tunes for you, but that doesn't solve the issue. If your throttle body or MAF being dirty is causing the underlying problem, it may still happen again with the stock airbox.

I don't know why the Bama team (it wasn't Dan Bailer) told you that the BBK CAI has issues. There have been hundreds of people running that intake with our tunes for quite some time and all love it!

Let's start with cleaning out the TB, MAF and inlet tube and see if that fixes your issues! Just remember to reflash the car with the tune you're currently running or simply unhook the negative terminal on your battery for 15 minutes or so!

Good luck, hope this helps!

Just use a mix of simple green and water with a brush and then backflow with a garden hose or sink faucet, shake out most of the water and let it air dry.

I tried removing the MAF but for some reason, every alan wrench I use to get the two screws off is either too big or just a little too small. There isn't one that is a "perfect" size and I don't want to strip these.

Even went out and bought a new tool set, and none of them fit. Going to give it a thorough look at later.

Some are the torx lock type - you need a tork bit that has a center hole for a post in the center of the screw head. Take a look at it and make sure, but if you have been trying allen wrenches then I suspect you don't have the post in the center.

the reason teh light went away for a short while after you loaded it is because it wiped the computer (like unplugging the battery) when you put in the tune.

It's most likely your MAF that needs cleaning as alreadys stated.

Oh and the size Torx is either a 10 or 15. If I recall correctly. Not an allen wrench. If you use an allen you're liable to strip out the torx arms then you'll need to drill out the screws.
