Default Scans good, still have idle problems.

I did a lot of work on my idle and it still dies occasionally.

It seems that once in a while, it will hunt the idle and when i turn my steering wheel hard, it seems that powersteering throws it off and will make it die occasionally.

404 ls2. 240/250 113+4 cam, 102 cable drive tb, fast 102 intake, l92 heads.

I did some playing with the set screw and reset the tps.
-950 rpms
-I have 40-50 iac steps while hot.
-30* advance and it sits fairly stable.
-60kpa at idle (The most i could get by playing with settings).
-I played with airflow vs steps and moved it right about 8 cells, my desired and dynamic airflow seem to match up well
-STFTs are small (SD w/ STFTs enabled.)

Car drives amazingly and gets off idle well, what else can I try, tired of messing with this thing, it seems everything is good.

There are a couple tables you can use to work on that - throttle cracker and engine speed compensation tables (if your OS has them)...

I feel like I am on a goose chase with this. When in closed loop, my wideband gauge (plx) seems to fluctuate 14.7 to 15.4 and it generally drove really well, so i assume the narrowbands were working. Both of them give good fluctuating signals that are in line with each other.

I am lost. I got my tb voltage at .77 so i backed it off and reset it so its at .55 again. I get 160 counts hot, i will drill a hole when i have more time as i dont use a/c right now.

I did a cold idle scan to adjust the raf and that didnt help too much. I then threw it in open loop, w/ stfts disabled, and did some corrections based on my wideband.

What steps do you recommend I take to fix this, im tired of heeltoein like crazy and everyone thinking im revving at them when im just trying to keep my car from dieing.

You gotta get the counts down - drill the hole...

Is is trying to die when still rolling? or after you are sitting still?

When sitting still. I think it is just fine, when rolling.

I agree that you need a bigger hole but A few things to make sure of. Do your idle timing tables match your main timing tables? They should. That way the transition is smoother. Also, try running an extra 10* in the RPM column below the one that you idle at. You can add fuel in the column below your idle RPM also. Creates a little stall saver cushion.
