My Idle was fine with my 97 ECU, NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. I got my ECUlink installed with the 95 ECU. I swapped the wires and checked the "Use non 95-96 style cam angle sensor". Enabled "Hot start enrichment". The Chip was pre used so i zeroed out EVERYTHING and reset the global dead time for the 450cc injectors. I also downloaded the stock fuel adjustment. I did the BISS adjustment perfectly I think. I had the ISCposition floating around 29-31 and LearnIdleAdjustment at around 144. After getting it as close as I could, It wouldn't stay idleing after I saved the settings and turned the car off then back on. So I had to adjust the BISS enough to be able to idle on its own and not die at the red light. I attached the settings I currently have and a couple of logs from different days. Please help, the ALMOST dieing when starting is annoying. The car drives PERFECT BTW.

It could be your ecu temp sensor in the thermostat housing, if you turn it on and rev it for a few seconds does it do it after? Ive not actually had this happen but ive seen many threads on this and its always suggested to check that sensor.
 
Check the temps on your MAF. Mine did something similar when the MAF stopped reading temps under 77 degrees.
 
Did you adjust tps adjustment with the wiki on ecmtuning? Or was this from the tune that was already on the car?
Your ISC position should be 30.
Your TPS volts should be 0.63
 
Yeah I adjusted the TPS to zero my throttle position to 0%.

My TPSvolts set from .65-1.41 volts driving and .63 at idle. I can't set my biss correctly cause it will not idle.
