Default tuning problems

I have a 2000 TA it has a 224/228 on 112lsa, 3500 stall, ported tb&maf, long tubes and duel exhaust. My problem is that the car dies all the time. you crank it up (hot or cold) it idles at about 800 rpm you put it in gear and it dies. You pull up to a stop sign and it starts jumping from 900 to 400 rpm then dies. it also cruies down the road at about 35 mph not giving it any gas.
I have be to my tuner countless times, he says that there is nothing he can do about it crusing so fast in gear. and about the dieing he will spend about 2 minutes on it with hp tunners and he says that he fixed it. it will last for about a day or two mabey and then it does it again. I have been to him at least 15 times with this, does anyone have any input

Sounds like the RAF is all jacked. Mine would surge and stall until I dialed in the RAF tables. You CANNOT tune that is 2 minutes. You need to find another tuner or bite the bullet and purchase HP Tuners.

where are you at? who tuned it? and i agree with Blacker, sounds totally like the RAF table is partially screwed up. There's a very simple procedure to fix it, if you got HPT/EFI.
