I'm allways up for a lot of work! This kind of stuff is a great hobby. I'm ready for my build right now but need some mechanical hands and a little bigger garage

Been having idle issues, rpm's go up to 1,500 and low to 5-600 constantly at idle and stalls, or it hangs @ 1,200 and stalls immediately, only when the engine is warm. Clean the maf, changed the IAC valve, repaired some maf wires, checked for vacuum leaks, but can't find anything. Done all of this one at a time, disconnect the battery to reset the ECU and works great for a day or 2, just when I think I got the issue solved it starts slowly back again to stall. Vacuum is around 16-17. When it starts stalling seems as too much fuel, temperature sensor maybe? Would appreciate any help.

Shoot your tuner a log so he can rule out things

hmm send fernando a catalog of the idle real quick, but are you sure your not losing fuel pressure?

Can't get it to idle once it starts acting up, if I reset the ECU it will do the best idle out there for a day-day and a half, something triggers rpm fluctuations getting worst till it stalls even between gears. Fuel pressure is constant @ idle.

Fernando took a look yesterday and the vacuum hose from the master to the IM collapsed, exchange it this morning and is much better, used a 200psi compressor hose, we'll see if it holds.
