    Takes a while after the battery is disconected to re-learn your new idle position . Did you clean the throttle body when you installed the new K and N ?

    Installing a K&N might also be a rookie mistake :D .

    The K&N oil tends to foul up the rather-sensitive MAF sensor, thus affecting drive-ability, mileage, and power. Be sure to remove/clean (with MAF cleaner) the MAF sensor on a regular basis. Also, be careful not to over-oil the K&N filter.
