Default Help?!?!?! (Rough idle after intake install)

Okay,I just installed an LMS intake and a JUN-TW Sway bar on my car. I followed all of the directions and it seems to work. The power output to me is a SIGNIFICANT difference, i feel the power and hear it as well!! The only problem i have is that the idle is more rough. To me, its a bit too rough. My car never shook before i added this. Is this normal???? Also, i installed the front sway bar, but for some reason the lexus covers wont fit on my car, what is going on?? Can anyone help me????

Has your idling problem gone away? I've noticed that anytime I've done anything that involves unplugging the MAF sensor it takes the car a little while to return to normal idling. And let me make sure I understand you - you bought a front SWAY bar that's interering with the engine covers? Are you sure you're not talking about a shock tower, or "strut bar" as JUN-TW refers to it?

its that EXACT same thing you have in the picture, whenever I put that on, NONE of the covers fit anymore.

That's not a sway bar, it's a strut tower brace (which is especially funny going on a car that doesn't even have struts) but I'm not sure the engine covers are supposed to fit over it anyway.

how old are your spark plugs?
maybe give it a Week to let the ECU do its thing. On my pathfinder after installing the Intake it would stall on cold days, and about 3-4 weeks it never did it again

Check all the clamps for tightness. Any air leaking in will cause problems.
