I have a 1997 eclipse gst , when warm at an idle it surges and runs extremely lean on an idle according to my wideband. Driving and WOT it’s fine. One thing I noticed is that which my headlights are on it does it a lot worse. To me it’s sounding like maybe a grounding issue somewhere but I’m kinda lost and looking for some hints or guidance, thank you!
 
Have you done a boost leak test and maybe check to see what your voltage is at the battery when it's running. Have you done the proper procedure setting your tps?
Thanks for responding. I haven’t done boost leak test but I did check my voltage at the battery and it’s not fluctuating or changing. I haven’t looked at tps but if I hold it at a certain position it’ll idle up and idle down a lot so maybe that might have to be my next step
 
Check for boost/vacuum leaks if you're running a stock MAF (still a good idea even if not). Otherwise possible culprits include:
BISS missing/leaking or improperly adjusted
Malfunctioning ISC
Wiring or ECU idle circuit issue
FAIV stuck open
TPS adjustment
Vacuum lines looped or hooked up wrong

Do you still have A/C in the car and if so, does it idle up if you turn it on? That's a good test for the ISC and idle circuit.
