Keep in mind these aren't the only tables that have an "adder" effect to the desired airflow. For example, there's a table called "Filtered RPM Airflow Correction" in EFILive. Based on the RPM's rate of change, the values are either added to or subtracted from the Desired Airflow. I'd try to use this table to fix the problem in instances where people see stalling when they put the clutch in or come to a quick stop. Just remember, the airflow tables can be your friend just as easily as it's currently your enemy as long as you're making the corrections in the right spot.

Good luck
Ensure your RAF is dialed in first. Easy to do and to eliminate as a variable.
Then you will want to log the cracker and follower PIDS. Take a drive and duplicate the problem a few times. Helps to have this in the chart (trend line) view.
You should be able to get a visual of what's causing the cruise control. If it's the follower, adjust the decay rate a little slower. If it's the cracker, take a little air out of the table, and or make adjustments to the decay rate. Cracker decay is pretty fast on Fbods.

Doesn't get much more dumbed down. Look at your chart, the one that's not 0 is your culprit
