Default stalling out

Hey guys i have a 2000 FRC with H/C and a forged LQ9 bottem end, with a nitrous tune. My car has never stalled before although it did buck sometimes i usually could drive around the low end problems that was no big deal. Here lately when i put the car in neutral(just a few times this has happend) the car will almost die or stall out completely. Could my tune have changed itself somehow, it have filled up twice so i doubt it could be the gas. Any help is greatly appreciated thank guys!!

Check to see if the throttle body is clean. Also clean the MAF sensor. After they are cleaned, disconnect the battery for a 5 minutes to relearn the idle. Reconnect and take it for a drive.

good advice--look also for some dis-connected hoses or loose air bridge clamps or vacuum leak--If you have access to anyone with even a simple scanner you could check your fuel trims to see if they are within reason or have gone haywire--

Getting the car scanned will provide a wealth of information. The tune hasn't changed, something external has.

If you scan the car I bet your LTITs have pulled allot of air out of your Base Running Idle Airflow table and you now donot have enough air at idle to keep it from stalling.
