so ive been talking to don and john about this on and off...it just doesnt seem right to me even with the cam...so figured id take a video so you guys can hear it instead of just based on my description. Its very rare that it will stall..but sometimes it does. It stalls most coming to a quick stop with the clutch in and especially if the wheels cocked at all and the PS pump is under any load. SO am i being crazy or do i have an issue?

btw i revved at the end because usually when i do that and let off even just that little bit, itll fall below 500rpms and fight to catch back up...it of course didnt in this video

check sensors first. like a sticky iac dirty maf you did seafoam it and its not exactly sensor safe. so id check the map too its on the back of the intake. and then go from there.

That's exactly what my car does when I start it up. Don told me it would do that with the cam. I don't care for it but am getting used to it. Sometimes it loads up badly on startup when warm but not all the time.

1 shut off the ac or defroster 2 let it find the idle before driving 3 if u get don to adjust the tune u can open the hole on the tb alittle or raise the idle rpm in the tune.

ac/defroster was off, and I always let it find idle before driving. the occasional stalling is annoying but if it is what it is i guess thats it.

put more gas in the tank...

doesnt matter if its a full tank (like it is now) or near empty...same shit

That would be the answer instead of buying alot of guessing parts.

well ive talked to Don, he had a few ideas but i think thats where we left it, at needing a retune...i dont have $500 to fix an annoyance...so im gonna wait til i mod it and actually need the car tuned

Just thought about this i dunno if the tb has an idle screw under the linkage but if it does give it a few turns

i usually just bent the tab. alot easier to get at then the fucking 5.5mm set screw. just make sure you dont bend it too far and the tps reads any % over 0!!

If you're ever near worcester I can scan it for free with my scan tool and see whats going on but other than that, I leave it to Don.
