Default high idle when slowing down.

my car likes to hang out at about 2000 rpm when i am slowing down or at a light, it sits at about 2000 rpm for about 2 seconds and then will come back down to 1000 in about 4-5 seconds, or else i'll be slowing down and instead of idleing high it drops to like 500 or lower and almost dies on me, would this be a tuning issue? i need to run ls1 edit ?

Yes this is a tuning issue. Need to work on the ve table and other idle tables to get it to fall correctly and stick.

Did this just happen out of the blue? Not being a tuning guru, the first thing I would look for would be a sticking butterfly in the TB.

no have not drilled the tb. the car did not do this when i first got it, but had to pull the motor due to a oil pump fail and stuck a lifter, cam hit and exploded it. i have check a couple times for vacuum leak but everything seems fine. the car also runs rich as hell right now, so is this something LS1 edit will take car of?

You need to adjust the VE table. If the car runs rich then there is too much fuel. I bet this will take care of your problems.
