Default popping idle

What would cause a pop out of my exhaust multiple times at idle? I've noticed since the weather change I've had a really lean idle by my wideband....

Lean misfires are common at low load, low-RPM operation with an injector like that.

That's what you're hearing.

most likely a little lean at idle. those pte injectors like to run a bit on the rich side at idle. wont hurt anything, pretty common. the newer style injectors like the injector dynamics line up got rid of a lot of the lean idle pops.

ive noticed the bigger precisions like a relatively rich idle in order to idle smoothly. Ran into this on several occasions. trying to tune their idle to 14.7-15.5, they just didnt like.

take the car back to your tuner and have him adjust the IAT fuel trims and possibly your warmup enrichment.
