Weird idle issue I rebuilt my motor 2 summers ago, motor in sig with a cc306. It has a mail order tune from MadZ28 on it. Ever since I built the motor it has ran great, idled good. But a couple of times a year it will idle weird. As soon as I push the clutch in the idle drops to about 500 rpm and the car just slowly dies. But if I keep my foot on the gas slightly it stays alive. The car still feels strong and runs good other than that. Like I said it only does this a couple of times a year, and it will do it for a day or two, then go back to normal for another 6 to 8 months. I was thinking a vacuum leak but the car idles fine for a minute or two after first starting it, and then it starts doing it. Anybody have any ideas or ever seen this before?

I know, its weird. It was doing it today, then after I posted and went back to work it stopped doing it. About 30 min ago it did it again on my way home. Crazy thing

I put a volt meter on my TPS, it was reading .54, and is supposed to be reading .67. I adjusted it, and the car is idling a lot better now. Still not as good as it has though, im going to tackle the IAC next.
