Hey,

Thanks in advance for reading this. I had to change some stuff aorund and replaced my throttle with a different throttle that I had here at home. I set everyhitng up and the car drove and idled perfectly. I went out to do some logs to make sure no retuning was needed and the idle set screw came out around 25psi. So i rpelaced it with another one when i got the car home. I re checked everyhting and did another boost leak test and everything was fine. The car idled low now- about 500rpm and stall out frequently under normal driving. Under light throttle it hesitates and stutters between 2k-3k rpm at anything over 18%tps or so, and if you go WOT it will give a hard buck or two bwefroe pulling fairly clean to redline. I have checked and tested everything I cna think of trying to find the problem. There are no leaks, all relevent sensros are ok, nohting is unplugged, motor is healthy. Does anyone have any input?
