What did the dealer do?

recently had the dealer do some work and on my sheet it stated that they relearned the throttle something or another through my computer, but i have a evo stage 1, not sure if they messed it up. car is running funny now . somtimes the idle is all over the place and i get a check engin light and the car feels like its gonna stall.

if they did an original initilization it resets your adaptation for your flywheel and fuel mixture. it also relearns your throttle posistion. if they flashed or installed software then they reprogrammed over your evo software. what kind of car and what does the work order say?

Check for a vacuum leak as the pcv hose can come off sometimes when removing the air filters to access the T/B.

Check the back of left hand bank carefully for disconnected hoses.

Besides CEL, that is exactly how my car was running. It was the hose underneath the air box on the drivers side. It's deceptive, can look like it is on, but you gotta get in there and press it on to be sure. I like Victor's idea to put a clamp on that darn thing.

Keeps us updated. Hope you didn't get flashed, can be a real pain.
