    Okay my 88 22r is acting crazy. I put a flowmaster on it, k&n filter on it and everything but a few days ago it started idling real rough and seemed like it took forever to warm up. While driving it sputters and misses. I'm going to put a fuel filter and plugs and wires on it this weekend and might try tackling removing the smog junk to help things out a bit but is there like some cold start issues? Or anything? Help me out folks.

    How'd you install the filter?

    If you installed the MAF anywhere BUT horizontal (stock) then the flapper inside won't be working correctly causing a wierd idle.

    It's just a drop in replacement the round one for a carb engine not a cone
