well, its what you need to do... So either deal with your car running like ****, or take a day out of your life, and go get the car fixed

Well im 99% sure its my mass air flow. i did a little research and unplugged it and there was no idle change at all. i was thinking it was this or a vacuum leak of some sort. the reason i say this is because when i first got it the idle was decent. but over a little bit of time its getting worse.

and I'm 110% sure that since you have a EFI system that is deisgned for a 5.0l ford, on a 4.9l cadillac engine.. that the car is not running to its optimum potential, and you need to go have it tuned.

+1 I do agree with you 110% as well. I just needed the idle fixed for now. Its something that was getting worse and needed to be fixed.
