    rpm drop lower than idle after throttle release

    hello everyone.

    i have noticed that while in park if i rev engine normally(1500-2200rpm) then let off the throttle, when the rpms come back down they drop to about 500-600, the engine will "stall" for a split second, the interior lights will flicker, then rpms come back up to normal idle range (750-900rpm)

    i would like to know where to start looking to solve this problem. is it deceleration fuel cut off?

    i havent done a log of this situation yet, but i will attach my tune file

    could this be a vacuum problem? the cam is a 107 lsa.

    Probably need to add more airflow in the 500-800 range.

    Im new to tuning and hp tuners, i checked every chart under airflow, but i didnt find anything to do with rpms.

    Would you be able to guide me in the right direction?

    This is often cause it is going too rich when you lift off the throttle. Or the airflow models are incorrect.
