Default Idle question.

I have a newly built b16a with Skunk2 Intake manifold and pro 1+ cams. When i start it the idle goes to about 3k then settles at 1k after a couple seconds. After a couple of minutes it start dipping like its about to die, but its does shut off. It just keeps dipping up and down between 1k. Could this have anything to to with my intake manifold. what can I check?

no that wasnt for you

you probably have the engine harness hooked up wrong on the manifold

probably got the map sensor and iavc sensor plug mixed up
