Hi, my car drive great, I just put a cold air intake on the car and now it sounds like I have an exhause leak toward the front end, but the major problem is when I aproach a red light or stop sign I put it in nuetral and the rpms drop so low that it stalls. Please help

Hi nike4056,

Cold air intakes would increase the suction noise so would sound like a leaking exhaust.

The low idling could be due to a dirty throttle body and IAC. Get them cleaned and idling readjusted.
