2018 rough idle

I had just over 650 on my 2018 when I noticed the idle was getting rough and the takeoff shifting seemed to be getting worse rather than better. I made an appointment at the dealership to get it looked at next week.

But then I decided to install my ARB compressor this morning. When I started to take off the hose clamp to the intake manifold from the airbox I found that the clamp was at best hand tight. I tightened it down, started it up and by the time I drove around the block the rough idle was gone and takeoff was much improved.

I'm pretty surprised it had that much impact, but I guess these things are engineering to have an undisturbed airflow from the airbox hitting the MAF. If you have a rough idle you might check and see if your's is loose.

Excellent work sir!
