Hmmm I wouldn't suspect any foul play happening there but you never know at some dealerships.

I see you are in Canada, I should have made my second guess Tim Hortons. I love that place. I have family up there who owns about 15-20 of them.

Yeah, Jiffy Lube was my guess or some mom and pops place. Sometimes they just forget things, like the oil plug... or maybe a quart of oil. I always check my car's oil leaving an oil change. Maybe I just been burned a few too many times lol.

Gentlemen, I have 2 final questions before I go in tomorrow

1) I'm assuming they are going to find a problem in the engine area, whether its throttle body, MAF, spark plug etc. I'm planning on using my warranty, but do you think they will deny me that because I installed after market CATS. Are they related at all to a problem happening in the engine area

2) What is a normal RPM at idle? At Park or Drive fro example

650 plus or minus 50 rpm according to FSM.

Good call Sam. Mine has been great since the RHFC install, one morning it sounded god awful but it was almost subzero and I have to park outside. Once she warmed it was fine.

I generally idle around 900 or 1k I think once she warms up. I'll have to check.

I just had the Fast Intentions RHFC's installed this morning and I've noticed my car idles a lot rougher now with the seat practically vibrating. I don't have a CEL but my guess is that it has something to do with the O2 sensor since simply installing new cats wouldn't cause the motor to immediately idle differently. Hopefully Samer found out something useful today...
