    Surge in idle

    Tune feels like is running perfect except when I hit the clutch and pull of gear to nuetral the idle dips now to about 500rpm and feels like its about to shut down but then it surges back to 1000rpm to settle back down to about 900-950rpm.

    Here is my tune, can anyone critic it and let me know what might be wrong? Thanks

    The reason is the expected airflow is too far off from the value in the tabke. You need to dial in the idle final airflow minimum table. Try this and see if it helps.

    I will take a look at that on the way home tonight. Other than that, does everything else seems to fall in place with my mods?. I should have my wide band installed this weekend

    I don't have the software loaded here so I didn't even look. This isn't a question that can be answered by looking at the tune alone though.

    I had this same problem. I started adding 5% to the idle airflow until it smoothed out.
