radix help needed
ok i have installed magna charger and love the results, but when i start the truck the idle starts at 2k then drops down, the ses came on and only found one code for high idle, cleared code and ran truck and light came back on next day, same code, truck runs awsome and due to the fact that it no longer fits in garage due to lift and tires and the cold weather i haven't had very much oppurtunity to check it out since install, but could not see anything obvious, anybody have any ideas what i could have screwed up

Maybe you missed a plug on the throttle body, or maybe the MAP sensor. If everything seems plugged up right, maybe a vacuum leak. Get a can of carb cleaner or WD40 and se if you can find a vacuum leak.

With that said, I would look closely at the fuel pressure regulator. Remove and reinstall it with PLENTY of lube (Vaseline) on the o-rings.
This is a common problem with new installs, the little black o-ring gets kinked, or pushed in wrong and it causes the problems you are describing. IF that does not work, you need to look for a vacuum leak like Flyer recommended. Keep us posted.
PS dont be shy with the Vaseline......trust me on this one

OK let me know if you need any other help. I happen to know a guy that works at MagnaCharger I am pretty sure your problem is in the Fuel Pressure regulator....but I am wrong every once and a while.
