    Default Idle problem... Car stalls out HELP PLS

    So heres my current setup...
    Garrett Gt28 Disc Potato
    2.5" downpipe
    38mm Tial wastegate
    NGK v power plugs
    Magnecor 8mm wires
    Rc 550 Injectors
    P28 tuned on crome
    ebay FMIC
    Tuned at 9psi

    What happened was everytime i go to a stop like at a light or at a speed bump the car stalls out. Even when i rev my engine it sounds like the car is going to cut off. So then, i took it back to the shop where i got it tuned and they raised my idle up to a 1000 rpm and it stopped cutting off but now that i have my A/C finally working its starting to cut off again. I tried to tighten up the throttle cable a little bit more so that the rpm's can go up. It worked for like a week or so then it started to cut off again. I've also cleaned the IACV. Thanks in advanced for the help

    what clutch do you have? my friends did that when he had a ridiculously light clutch/flywheel combo.

    Almost sounds like the tune in the area is a little messed up but I can't say for sure because I don't know who tuned it and I'm not about to point fingers at anyone.

    i had this exact same problem on my teg a couple summers ago. the car drove perfectly otherwise, but as soon as i came to a stop, the idle would intermittently drop too low and make the car cut off. it would start right back up after.

    in my case it turned out to be an issue with my map sensor. i had a 3bar in at the time and both the 3bar and the stock map sensor were plugged in. the car was originally tuned like that so luckily it didn't cause any motor damage. i'm only running off the wastegate (10.5lb spring) so I just retuned the car on the stock map sensor and haven't had an issue since.

    check out your map sensor if you haven't already. good luck.

    We turned the idle up in the ecu a little bit.
