Default STUPID IDLE~!

alright, the last time for idle was advanced i put on my intake, and when i put it back to stock it still was sloppy, so i took it to a place with a light gun and they fixed it for me with the stock on (so i can get it smogged). after i got that done, i put back on the intake and now the idle is sloppy again, so is this the intake? should i just put it back to stock?

this is not a problem with your idle, what was adjusted was your timing. Do you know where it was adjusted to? Did you reset your ECU after you reinstalled your Intake? If you have messed with your idle then you need to take it somewhere and have it set back to stock because you are getting into a complicated situation.
