Long time, no post.

So my '02 GT came up with an issue this week. It won't idle on it's own. When it drives, it seems to run well enough, but it just dies when it's time to idle.

It's throwing a code "P1000" up. I'm not sure what this means. I took it off the battery for the night, just because that's easy, and it didn't change anything.

Not sure it has anything to do with it, but I've had the Predator performance tune in for awhile.

Any advice would be appreciated. I'm not much of a mechanic outside of maintenance.

Thanks

P1000 just means that it has not completed a drive cycle. This code will set every-time you disconnect the battery for longer than a few min. The only way it goes away is for the car to complete a drive cycle. You can Google what all that entails for your year/make/model.
