The EMS has to idle at 12.3 AFR or else it likes to shut the car off right? It's mainly because of the drive by wire idle control from what I remember but the shutting off while driving thing shouldn't happen unless you have a big tune problem. The normally goes into high idle and will keep the RPM's near 1100 and once you slow down to about 15 mph or lower is when it goes into normal idle mode. This is when the bouncing and hunting occurs.

what weirds me out, is mine idles great for 630cc injectors, when it idles. But when I put my clutch in and it goes to neutral and starts to idle AFR's go to 10 and the car dies or stumbles and then after about 3-5 seconds of idleing at like 400 rpm it will go real lean then start to idle normally. It does it worse after I hit boost but even if I go somewhere and never spool the turbo it will do it. It also like to go rich when I take my foot off the gas stumble around a bit then lean out like it is supposed to.

im throwing a rear 02 code now but thats from the massive backfires I get when the car floods

sounds to me like the fuel trims are too far off.
