What did the code read say when you scanned it?
Why you getting a induction kit if its not running right?
Any recent changes or services?

I bought a car with more than just a "tappy" engine 
You could always just swap the engine

good point am getting that done next week. also thinking of taking the crank case of and tightening the torx bolts up a tad. that could also be a factor in the noise. what yous think??
