    If you did some reading of the stickies before you posted you would be able to ask better educated questions. One of the first things the stickies say is post a log and tune with any question. Newbies are welcome, but you gotta help yourself to some extent before you will get some help.

    Try this, you can use the compare function to see what I have done. Your running airflow table was jacked up with unreasonable numbers. You can search for and run the russ k idle airflow config to dial in closer if desired.
