Default 103 stage 4 issues
Just wondering if anyone has had any issues with screamin eagle stage 4 kits in the 103 motor with stalling when cold?

Its in a 2014 breakout. The kit has been in for about 3000km and have never had any trouble with it until the last 2 days of starting when cold. Pretty much have to hold the revs on a little bit otherwise it just stalls.

Check the Idle Air Controller to see if it is functioning properly. Use Throttle Body cleaner to clean if necessary.

Why would you spend that kind of money on stage 4 for a 103?

Took it back in to hd today and turns out it was the tune. They put 3 different ones in before they were happy.

Don't you hate guys like this? Know-it-alls, always THINK they know more than everybody else.

What the hell do you care what he spends his money on? What business is it of yours?
