i'm recirc
I will definitely try this. I don't think I've ever cleaned my maf. Thanks

the car should balance out, it just cant handle the drop from 4-5k to 1k in rpm
I agree with you, but I have a couple friends running very similar setups with no issues at all. I think enthalpy's tune is off on the low end. I need to get a wideband when $ comes around. Today I reconnected the safc2 and reset the decel and it helped out a lot. I think the combination of cleaning the iacv multiple times, retightening couplings, and resetting the decel air function has my car in better shape than its been in awhile. I will take it out for a more thorough test this weekend to see.

Check and redo your grounds too! This is going to be a biggy, if you step on the break and notice some fluctuations like light flickering and stuff... redo grounds with 2 gauge monster cables.... Those will definitely help.
I messed around with the throttle set screw and iacv screw a lot but it didnt help with the stalling. I will double check the grounds though, thanks for the suggestion!

Hmmm I've been reading and reading about the IACV and understand some of how it works (ie. cold start pulling air until coolant opens the next valve) but I don't understand what effect closing off that hose you mentioned has. I will add it to my check list though, thanks.
