After installing my intake + filter onto my car, I get a really rough idle when I first start the car up after it has been sitting for a while. The car seems like it wants to stall but it goes back to normal after a minute or so. I noticed this problem also with my friends srt-4. Why is this?

Also

After installing my intake + filter my car seems to be running rich. Any ideas why this happens and how I can prevent it?
 
Obviously- but is your BOV venting back into your intake track, or into the atmosphere?

Also, check your Idle Speed Controller

What's the milage, how old are the plugs\wires, etc. etc....
