stuttering idle.......help please
Ok, my car just starting doing this out of the blue, no changes to settings or anything. When I'm idling at a red light its as if my car is stuttering. the rpm would lower at random time and sometimes it'll feel like the car is about to die. then when i start driving it feels as if my power is stuttering on and off too so it'll be kinda jerky, then after a couple of seconds it feels like it fixes itself and the car drives smooth again, but sometimes still has hickups while driving, especially during a hard acceleration. Any suggestions? I was thinking something to do with the ignition maybe.......

Even if you are not running Emanage, it is worth a look at the AFM:

it has a greddy turbo kit with starion intercooler, begi afpr, walbro 190, and 1.8L injectors. i retarded timing to 5-6 deg. i don't think theres been that big of a weather change in houston to make it act up, but i could be wrong since this is my first turbo car. i thought i heard before turbo cars like the cold weather better. i have an emanage blue connected but its not tuned for anything yet, since i thought the 6 deg is adequate for the 4 psi. now, when u say look at the afm do u mean the stock one or the begi?

I would suggest a set up plugs and wires if you think it could be an ignition problem. Bad plug wires will cause hesitation similar to what you've described. You can use a meter to check your wires to see if they need replacing or not. I would just put new plugs as they are inexpensive and not worth cleaning IMO.
