Default Idle problem???

Guys, I need help. When I put my car in reverse in the morning out of hte garage, it like almost dies. It goes really low. I have checked my idle with ATAP a while back and it was like about 6?? or so, and the tach was reading higher by a bit. IT feels like it is about to die when it is in reverese, and then goes back, up, and then goes back down. Today was a little worse. What should I check??? It is pissing me off? It really does not do it in drive much. Just reverse. But today, after I put it in drive it semmed to stutter a lil bit before i went back up?? Any ideas? Thanks! I changed to a Powershot Holley air filter a few weeks ago, could that be it? Maybe too much oil. I forgot, does the Pace LS6 maf have those little sensor wires in it??? Why would it only do it in reverse. Should I check my tranny fluid? Thanks! <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />

It's not uncommon for reverse to have a bit of surge in A4s. You can your idle set screw just a bit and see if an extra 50 rpms clears up the problem.

Hmm...okay, wher si this screw? Should I try cleaning my maf out first with some CRC electonics cleaner? MY Holley came with A LOT of il in it, maybe that is why? How should I clean the sensors. Thanks!
