Mpre details about the car would help greatly. Mods, etc. Also, a tune file and run log would be helpful.

check and clean the IAC motor, make sure the air filter isn't clogged, clean the MAF, have the car scanned for codes

get a real tune and throw the hypertech on ebay

If you haven't checked your plugs and wires yet, give that a try. I recently had an issue with mine idling low while in gear and it feeling like it wanted to die coming to a stop. It turned out I had two spark plug wires that wouldnt clip onto the spark plug due to the connector inside the plug boot.
