I have a 98gst stock. Will not idle run fine at 1k rpms.If I let off the gas it dies till warmed up then idle really bad.Check plugs number 3 was bad broke.Number 3 was not get fule put new injector in getting fule now still bad idle. Help no boost leaks need all checks have not checked timing yet any help.:banghead:
 
MAF, ISC, BISS if all passes + no boost leak then bad ecu probably

My MAF I had to zip tie on for it to sit in correctly, otherwise I would push it and it would run good then slowly bog out after some time from coming loose.

BISS (screw in all the way then back out 2 full turns) got mine to 750 rpm in drive (was still a little high in park after warm even) and I know i got a bad ISC which i just unplugged and brought the rpm up by 200.
*From what I know make sure vehicle is not running when adjusting/setting BISS and don't mess with it more than you should otherwise you will blow out your ISC motor very quickly*

Cutting out when cold after letting off gas I know all about which is another reason I believe its your ISC.
