did you take out the honey comb in the MAF?

clean the TB?

check all sensors and vaccum lines?

adjust the set screw on TB too much ?

This just just restated everything from the "idle surge" comment's link.

However, how would removing the honeycomb do anything? Air would pass through as easily with or without it. The entire comment adds zero help to the OP.
 
If you remove the honeycomb from the MAS sensor, it will affect it adversely... especially
right in front of the resister
My comment was for troubleshooting reasons... and it is a "help" you, on the other hand, are not.
 
I found the problem i have a small air filter or i dont even know whats it called after the MAF sensor and i had blockd it from before when i opended it it went good again i can take a picture and show how it looks like if anyone is intrested thanks for the help guys!

The honeycomb serves to straighten the airflow in front of the Karman sensor.

Lmao sorry for late reply but this is what i ment!

LOL, that's where the BOV is supposed to be recirculated to but it looks like your BOV is vented to atmosphere. Having a filter on there (the intake pipe) is a HUGE air leak that the MAF can't count. The vented BOV is also a problem.

but isnt it weird that when i block that the engine cant idle LOL
 
You need to recirculate the blow off valve back into the intake pipe, and then make adjustments to the BISS idle air screw to compensate. The turbo eclipses are not meant to vent to blow off into the atmosphere because that is metered air that the computer is factoring into the air fuel ratio.

that sounded kinda complicated LOL im not really that experienced
 
Take a look at how this BOV tube is routed - the BOV sits on the upper intercooler pipe. It is connected to the air intake pipe with a rubber hose. That's what you'll want to do with yours. Or, at least cap the air intake side. But it's ideal to do it as pictured. As for it dying when you cap it, you might have a whole bunch of other issues going on - air leaks in the system, etc.
