Hmm...normally this fixes it. Does the car attempt to stall when you slow to a stop in gear? Also do you have any way to verify RPMs? Like i use a Scangauge II and my emanage to verify idle RPMS, my tach seems to read a touch different then they do....
Honestly man there is not a whole lot I can think of besides this. My car idles right at 680-700, which is lower then what everyone else reports, but not that low.
Actually here is one idea. Maybe talk to the dealer, see what they say, and possibly change primary O2?

I am researching the O2 sensors, MAF, as sometimes they aren't functioning up to standards, but not low enough to cause a CEL. I don't know if they'll check it out since I have aftermarket headers, cai, and soforth.
If this is as far as it gets fixed, its still a win for me, I felt like I was in a massage chair at every stoplight, now its just a small, almost unnoticeable vibration. I see where my radiatior cage on the driver side got messed up a little bit. my front end has been tapped there twice now, I am wandering if there is something I can do to see if its the chassis or any of those parts.

say usually a MAF runs at 100%
If the MAF runs at 60% of its normal performance it will throw a CEL
Well if the MAF is performing at 70% its not that good of performance but not that bad to throw a code.

problem is slowing coming back. I will take a video tomorrow, but I am going to move ahead with my turbo kit on the car. I am going to hook up my wideband tomorrow and see if its running normal. O2, belts look good. Ordered a new filter(even though I know its not the filter). I am slowing building my turbo kit(no need to boost in key west unless I finally get fed up with tourists and run one over).
