Before messing with the idle screw, make sure you did install your intake correctly. I only say this since you think you did. Post pic's. Where did you connect the vacuum line? etc....

this has been covered before, the car is just relearning the behaviour with the new intake, drive it for a bit and keep the revs up to avoid stalling it.

You don't have an idle screw. The throttle body is electronically controlled and controls the engine idle speed.

Your setup is far from ideal, that's why you're having problems.

so guess what... i was going to take a photo right???? i was going to take a photo than the camera slips of my hand hits the bumper than the ground and splits into a few pieces and now i have a broken camera

... BUT i found the problem

....the intake wasnt properly installed on the throttle body....so i tighten it and drove it for about 15min minutes and we are in business

...but no photos....

so now i have to figure out which one to get first a 7" touch screen dvd player or a new camera....

oh and no more check engine light thanx everyone... i really appreciate it.....
