Default Re: Rough idle

Hi everyone-Well, I just got around to replacing the CPS per site recommendation. Bosch plug and play/exact replacement. I rarely drive the car (14k bought it new), fair weather only and we're talking Central California. So, here's what it does. Rather than rough idle on start up like it used to do, it runs great for 5-6 miles with the new CPS then resorts to the rough idle. Smells like its running rich at that time. The only thing out of the ordinary is that when I put a load on the electrical system (mostly headlights), it begins this rough idle again shortly after. This Jeckyl/Hyde persona is running thin. What a love/hate relationship The battery was replaced 2 years ago with an upgrade. Could it be I'm just not driving it a bit? I've read that the SRT-6 is sensitive to voltage/anomalies. It is that a rabbit hole? This idling issue got progressively worse till I just wouldn't drive it until this is rectified. Any and all suggestions would be gratefully accepted. Thanks!!!
