Revs dropping
I just bought a MY96 5dr scoob, it was fitted with a HKS filter. I took this off to see if it makes it more drivable (for the missus). However, it drives fine really smooth through the gears, but is a little jerky on back off, and when i stopped the revs were dropping to about 350RPM and then back up to normal.
Please help - any ideas?

Also the check engine light is coming on - after reading some other posts, it sounds like ive disturbed a vac pipe somewhere - also where is the idle sensor on a MY96?

Took it to Simspons in Swindon, they reset the ECU and now all ok - the techician said it was due to the iginition being turned on when the air flow meter was disconnected during the changeover, i didnt do this but i obviously caused an abnormality in the air flow meter circuit when i was fixing in the orginal filter assembley.
Car drives much smoother but less raw power, i hope to put in a quality high flow panel filter, can anyone recommend a good choice, i'm drawn to a K&N.
Any thoughts?
