Car Probs, need advice
Recently, my car has been running fine, then as I come to a stop it would die. No problem restarting it. The problem got worse. I thought a re-tune would fix it. So, I had that done. My tuner (JF) thought my MAF sensor was going bad. It made total sense. I replaced it and now, when the car warms up, as soon as I let the rpm's drop it wants to die. When I try to rev it up to keep it from stalling nothing happens. It's also getting harder to start.
So, now I am at a real loss. The air filter is spotless. The gas is good, and it runs great as long as I keep the rpm's above 3000. Any advice would be much appreciated.
TIA, JJ

Check for vacuum leaks, with a cam they may not be evident at higher RPM's, but at lower RPM's it can stall the engine. I don't know how this works with all the computer hardware, all my experience is old school.
