Default Low speed lean surging

My new C6 seems to have a slight surge at lower RPM (between 1000 and 2000). It nearly goes away when the engine comes up to temp, but I can still feel it slightly. Anyone else notice this? Can it be "tuned" out?

I get it when the Air Conditioner is on.

That's what I was hoping. Also, I haven't run it without the AC on yet. ( I thought of that though, so I'll give it a try.) It could just be the compressor kicking in and out.

It dissapears for a time if you reset the computer, I've noticed. How long have you had the tune? Is it completely gone?

mine was resolved when they reduced the a/c pressure to the new 1.1lbs setting.

it is also possible your maf posts are contaminated. a carefully cleaning may fix it, good luck getting pat the screen and not breaking one of the resistors.
