car dies


02 v6 coupe will die when it becomes idle or sits still for 30sec-1min. Only mod(s) is a cold air intake and flowmasters. I had a diagnostic run on it already and the tech couldnt find anything.

First off Welcome to MM i'm not a hundred percent sure but from what i've heard other people say it may be the idle air control (not sure if thats the exact name) sensor or the MAC... but i would definitely wait on someone else's opinion lo im still a newb...
also when you installed the cold air intake you plugged everything back in right?

could be the Idle sensor ... thats a good first thing to check if it dies at idle...

also check for vacuum leaks... ... when it dies... is it a peaceful death or does it sputter and struggle then dies?
