Default High idle after mail order tune

I got a mail order tune from RPM Motors and now when i push the clutch in to slow down or come to a stop the engine will rev to about 2k and will stay there till I make a complete stop. Even after a stop it takes about 10 seconds to finally drop down to normal idle. It will drop from 2k to idle all at once. I just gotit back today because it done this the last time so I would say he didn't fix it. Oh, it doesn't do it with the stock pcm. What is going on in this pcm? What isn't set right?

Sounds like the Idle Air Control valve (a.k.a. IAC). Not sure what he used to program the PCM, but LT1Edit has an IAC table with settings that can be changed.

well so far he hasn't replied to my emails so i don't know if he will fix it or not. All I know is that I can't drive it till it gets fixed.

I may have to ask him if he can fix my pcm. I sent my pcm back to rpm twice to fix this problem and now he won't even reply to my pm.

yea it was but I have since done some more mods and RPM just started doing mail order tunes. He was doing a cool deal with all of us on the corvette forum so I thought I would give it a try. I don't think he knows **** about getting an Fbody to idle right. Now all he does is ignore all my emails. Kinda pisses me off. If I could just find somebody that could change the throttle cracker like Jesse at Wait 4me said I think it would be fine.

Throttle cracker is a pretty straight airflow adder
that has no clue about other air sources or air path
model errors. If you have a vacuum leak, a different
throttle body, etc. it will merrily give you more than
you need.

I'd begin with the ported TB, make sure it's closing
all the way (some people especially in the past have
jacked the set-screw or drilled the hole fighting tune
problems, there's yer excess air) let alone the chance
of an "oops" or two with the Dremel on the seating
circle. This year of 'vette is cable throttle, right?

This is on my 2000 WS6. I checked for vacume leaks and that is fine. I sprayed carb cleaner all around the intake and throttle body. The idle was this way after the tune was done. It was fine before the tune. I think I just need to see if I can find somebody to adjust it a little. Oh, all C5 vettes have the fly by wire throttle and have no iac. You really have to watch when porting the vette throttle body.
