Ok. When the car is cold and been sitting for atleast an hour or over night the car will crank and idle perfectly! Now when the car has gotten warmed up for awhile and you turn the car off, it will not crank and stay running on its own. Its like the throttle stop to set your idle has completly broken off. The car seems to idle smoothly once you give it gas to hold a idle and will drive just fine. Now once you keep holding it at about a 800 rpm idle, you feel something seem like it went back to normal and the car will shoot up in idle until you let off the gas pedal, then it will idle correctly unless you turn the car off again, and then it starts all over unless sitting for awhile.

Sorry for the book, but I am really unsure as to how to figure out the problem. I tried forcing the car to open loop when it does it, changing to a different tune, all with no change.

Please HELP!

I also made a data log of what its doing if someone would like to look at it.

The car is a 95 gt 5.0 with the only mods of a c&l 76mm cal for 19's and rear cats deleted.
