Default ls1 problems

Hi i have a 98, camaro ss with a cam and portd heads. It has been reving up on its own when i coast to a stop any where from 1500 to 2500 rpms and when driving down the road it cuts out. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what could be wrong. thank u Darrin

It is "surging" or "searching"... have you had the car tuned? My car did this after I swapped the T/B and intake, it was acting like it was re-learning all the different perimeters of air and adjusting the fuel.

sounds like a vacuum leak, mine did it after fast intake install, the map sensor fit a little loose on the rear of intake and came out while driving, check for vacuum leak.

If it was ok before I would start by looking for a vacuum leak somewhere around the intake to include all the vacuum hoses.

yeah i was told today that a bad tune could of fowled the plugs, caused misfire and detination, now that it's tuned running on 7 cylinders i'm gonna change the plugs and wires then go from there, but if it still does it i'm gonna find another tuner for my G ride
