Is the car running satisfactory and not satisfactory?

If not satisfactory, call NED setup a time for us to look at the car (to try and repeat the conditions where the problem is seen) and we will do our best to fix it.

Im goin to agree with you on that and saying something else is goin on, the way im explaining everything im prob making a mountain out of a mole hill. Something simple like dirty tps or something.
there is no reason to have this car in open loop

Captain open loop lives!

FWIW his car is in closed loop. Not cost effective to tune everybody openloop/MAFless.

well I dont know if this really helped or not but im very suprised, I decided to clean my air filter just by chance hoping it would do something, I took it out and underneath was all black kinda gross, I shook it and mud fell out I am very suprised the car ran at all. Well so like I said I cleaned it let it dry all last night, oiled it this morning let that dry all day and put it back on, The car started right up and went right to normal idle, "just under 1krpm" now could something this simple have been the problem to my idling problem. I took it for a ride and it doesnt seem as hesitant as it was before.

Now this is weird, like I already stated that after cleaning my air filter my car runs awesome, why is this. Well besides the obvious it breathes a bit better now, but how could it change it that much.
