I just barely put a cold air intake on my f22. before, it idled from 650-750 (i can't remember exactly). Now it idles at 450. Is this normal, or is it bad? If it has any negative effects, what are some ways i could bring my idle up a little?

The idle adjustment screw.
Bring the engine to normal operating temperature, then remove the connector from the EACV. Check and adjust the idle if necessary.

where you been, is something wrong?

so what effect does it have while idling at a lower rpm?Comment

The engine consumes slightly less gas I suppose, but these 4 cylinders tend to get the shakes at low rpms.
If it doesn't bother you and it doesn't die then it shouldn't be a problem.

so as far as performance, it won't matter at all?Comment

Okay, so I started my car, let it warm up, then unplugged the EACV connector. The engine shut off, the check engine light turned on, and I wasn't sure how i was supposed to check how much to turn the idle adjustment screw without my tach on. So i plugged the connector back in, turned the car back on, my check engine light turned off, and I just adjusted the screw. Did I hurt anything by not leaving the EACV connector unplugged while adjusting it?Comment

Well, it shouldn't have died, but perhaps its just because the idle was too low. Adjusting it without unplugging the eacv should be fine.
The eacv can control the idle speed via the ecu, so their method of setting it takes that into account.
Just run with it for a while, then let us know if you have any problems.

you can always adjust the 2 nuts that set the throttle cable or simply whack it with a hammer toward the driver's side and that will idle it up a bit"As far as the prog references go, we embrace them. However, we would prefer our new moniker, which is a Mulligan stew of progressive rock, Bulgarian folk metal, rock ’n’ roll, ’80s disco and Christian rap that we like to call Munge."

So I haven't had any problems as of yet, I drove it to and from work, and got it up to 95 on the highway on the way back (I didn't want to go faster). It acted exactly the same, so I'm assuming it's okay.
Yeah it may have died because the idle was too low. The adjustment screw was almost all the way in, so i just unscrewed it until it was idling at about 700.Comment

I think there may be something else contributing here though. Perhaps the throttle cable is out of adjustment, or something else is leaking air, but I wouldn't worry about it unless you're actually having problems.
