Is there something that isn't working correctly when the voltage sags at idle?

I put a warm air intake in when I installed my under drive. I know, you should only install one mod at a time. Anyhow, the truck will not idle below 650 now. Prior to this, I could get it to idle at 450. I later pulled the warm air intake, thinking it was the culprit...but nothing changed. So then I noticed the voltage drop when the engine tried to lower to 450 rpm and started speculating that the PCM was watching the voltage to limit the idle rpm. It's a .2 gal/hr difference at idle...

Wow! Thanks for posting that.
