Alright I'm gonna go drive her for a while and see how it goes.
FYI, increasing timing will raise idl speed, and vice versa.

I always keep the timing stock when I'm messing with an idle like that because it takes that variable out. Then once I get it lined out, I raise bump the time and make adjustments if need be.
I know I've been harping on this, but put the FP to 39psi. That takes one more varible out of the equation and that's where it needs to be. Injectors are rated at a static pressure....usually around 43 psi or something like that. Remember the meter tells the EEC how much fuel to deliver so if your too far below that pressure, the engine isn't getting enough fuel.
At that point you've got just a couple of things; clocking that meter and messing with the idle screw, assuming you've already got the TPS in order and the othe miscellaneous stuff.
I stopped by my buddies house to look at where we put his meter, and it's where I thought it was, clocked towards the engine. Every meter I've had this issue liked that clocking........has something to do with the way the air enters, and creates turbulance causing the meters to fritz. Anyway, a picture's worth a thousand words..........so I took two:
Getting closer........I hope!:-D
If it came down from any significant RPM at all it would just die. So I cleaned the connecters and it is sitting and drying right now, but I will update you.
By the way if I bring it down really slow to a stop, it stays steady and idles fine.
What you are talking about is very common when dealing with the MAF's, and not just C&L's I might add.
When you set the idle screw, did you do it with the IAC unplugged?
What about the MIL, is is still lighting up?
It sounds like your getting close.:thumbsup:
The straight edge part.
What the hell, your brother can't help you out with this idle stuff? LOL.........just kidding!
Or you have a bad connection somewhere, which would explain the running good one moment, like crap the next. You mentioned in a few posts back when you were messing with connections on the MAF and the IAC, it seemed to generate problems. How is the connection at the MAF?
I bet it's the clocking. I started following this thread since I was having the same issues with my 93. I started clocking my MAF and turned it to the 2:30ish position and it's smoothed right out.
