Default Idles 10 sec then dies

C6 Z06. New 100 mm TB makes it run lean, and idle stability is really a problem.

Symptom: Idles ok 8-12 sec then goes lean on the AFR > RPM drops way low > bounces way up (goes rich) and stabilizes for a while nicely. Then repeats itself.

Question: I was thinking to richen the AFR at lower idle speeds to beat it at it's own compensation. How to change AFR for idle?

UPDATE: 8/16/08. Idles perfectly if car is moving over 2 mph out of gear. Reproducable only at 0 mph This is not an MAF calibration problem. It is some other table. What?

Your going to have to calibrate for those changes...By calibrating the MAF..

Everything is running perfectly AFR-wise, so there is no indication to change the MAF. I should have been clearer.

HOWEVER, I was going to try to raise it a little on the bottom part to enrichen it at low gm/cyl. That's the only thing I can think of to enrichen it (if that would work anyway.)

sounds more like you swapped TBs and made no airflow adjustments...

Again for those trying to help. Please note:

UPDATE: 8/16/08. Idles perfectly if car is moving over 2 mph out of gear. Reproducable only at 0 mph This is not an MAF calibration problem. It is some other table. What table would do this.
