After installing my FMIC, car has a hard time idling. The car runs very well on the top end and anything over 2500 or so RPM. While falling back to idle the car will somethimes not pick up idle and die. While idling the motor sounds like i have HUGE cams...idles very rough and choppy. Checked plugs and wires, as it sounded like i was missing cylinders at idle, but they are fine. Car sounds like it loads up on fuel at idle, smells really rich. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Everything is hooked up and could find no leaks. Profile is up to date.
