Stock ecu? Is it tuned? Whats base timing? Idle rpm? Iac voltage? If idle rpm is too low, itll drop too low and hunt forever. What i used to do is put my foot on brake and let clutch out to catch the idle. U can also raise idle or base timing, both of those help too. Or get a cam with less lope...

TrueStreet tuned it, ran great 'til a couple days ago so something called it quits. CEL came on after lunch today so gotta get the codes pulled and see what's up. It's had an intermittent problem with a soft miss at cruising speeds that I never could place as the problem was so intermittent. So I'm placing my bet on EGR system..
