hey all.

so i installed some used headers that i just purchased but now my car shakes and feels like its about to turn off WHEN i come and/or when im coming to a complete stop.rpm needle drops to anywhere from 0 mto 500 (yes below 1) when it starts to feel like that. when i turn the car on and i am stepped on the brakes it doesnt do it, its only after driving. car also rattles at times not really sure but i think its at higher rpms any ideas??

recently installed headers are "megan racing" brand

Headers taken off before are no brand looks like ebay brand

i own a ej1 and the car didnt do this with the ebay brand headers that were on previously.

thank you all in advance

 

also would the car turn off??

 

I've experienced something similar but with a different issue. I replaced the evap canister because of a leak and after the new (used) one was put in, my car seemed like it was going to stall at every stop. It stalled once when I came to a complete stop. Just once, but I kept on driving after that it sort of fixed it self.

For you, however, I'm not exactly sure...

 

really? how long ago was that? do you still drive that vehicle? hopefully mine just needs to adjust or something.

 

Don't quote me on this but it may be a leak in your abs system if it does it during any kind of breaking

 

that is a different issue i have that i want to address since ive noticed that at times when i brake sometimes i feel like the tires are about to fall off. unfortunately the issue im having here might be different since it just started today due to the fact that i just installed these other headers

 

is your o2 sensor hooked back up correctly?

 

the header i installed had its own so i didnt put mine in..... no cell code at all though

 

any more input anyone?

I got me an EJ1 and last night the lighting would dim considerably if I stepped on the brake pedal while idling at a stop, then bring itself back up. also, the radio was having problems reading my USB drive, which it never does, so I figured theres a grounding issue and I should maybe remove my ground wires and clean them, and clean the grounding points for a better connection. Sometimes if you add extra grounds it can smooth out your electrical system.
