Ok, over the weekend I converted my car to mass air with an A9S ECM and a C&L mass air meter. Before the conversion, between shifts, the idle would drop like normal. Now, the idle kind of "hangs up" between shifts and it's getting annoying. I've had issues with the IAC before where the idle would stay at 2000 RPMs when putting it in neutral while coming to a stop. That's stopped since the swap. It's now while actually driving the car that it's doing it.

You guys ever experience this? You think it's an IAC problem? ECM problem? MAF meter problem?



Thanks in advance for any help.

Check your TPS voltage. I had funny problems like this before and it always turned out to be a bad or going bad TPS. Also watch the voltage from closed to WOT. The voltage should be linear to about 4.5V. I have had ones that had dead spots along the way and the car would act like it was out of gas if I slowly sped up, but not be a problem if I just stomped on it.
