Another Idle Issue Thread
I had my ecu tuned by a reputable tuner and the idle works well most of the time. However, it seems like after it gets heated up and I'm guessing goes into CL it can sometimes stumble at idle even to the point of dying. Sometimes it catches itself and climbs back up. It's only occasionally. I thought from another thread it was the PID setting which was at 1, so I've turned it up to 3 and it seems to be helping because it hasn't died and seems to catch quicker. Still not sure why it's happening at all though. I logged it happening, any ideas?

Your fueling is way off. You are super lean at idle. Even when you got it idling, you can see your EGO take off to 116% to try and solve the problem. But then when you blip the throttle you go into an instability.
Basics of getting good idle. Step one. Use more fuel than you want. Like AFR of 13.5. Step 2, idle higher than you want. Like 1200rpm.
That should get your running. Then from there you do tweaks to timing, idle advance timing and other settings in order to pull the rpm down and AFR to (eventually) 14.7.
p.s. You are (and should) use the RPM timing correction curve, but you don't have it filled out from low RPM to high RPM error.
