Okay I'm starting this new thread cause it's now giving me
Different problems.

First, the original problem was fixed, it went away after messing with the idle.

I installed dsmlink and made some beginner adjustments after watching some how-to's (maf adjust, tps adjust..)

And car ran amazing, everything perfect, clutch in, nothing, was great.

So I drove around a bit, no problems.

Got to wear I was going, two hours later, clutch in, car dies instantly, and everytime after that.

So I sit a minute, while in neutral, push clutch in, almost dies, recovers, idles like normal, let the clutch out, it climbs to 1600 Rpms, then settles. Does it almost everytime, but only dies when driving occasionally.

I'm running dsmlink v2 chip, cause it came with the car.

Also, in first gear, I start excelerating, cel will come on for 2 seconds then go off, won't come on in any other gear. Only does that occasionally too.

I have taken some logs, trying to catch a difference, nothing
Really.

So I think it's mechanical. Sorry for the long post, a lot of weird symptoms this time.

Any ideas?

Thanks
