Exclamation Bama tune not working

ok, so about 3-4 weeks after i installed my JLT CAI and the BAMA tune, my engine has turned off on me 3 times when idle.

the service light just turned on yesterday, but it goes off every once in a while...

could it be the tune? or the intake?

the rpm's rev up like from 2-3 1/2 all of a sudden then it goes from 3-less than half and then the engine turns off.

idk whats wrong, should i just re-install the stock airbox (im selling the car anyways)

im puzzled by this...

Dirty throttle body and/or maf.
Cleaners are available at all auto parts stores.

The intake could be loose at the throttle body.

Could be un-metered air getting in somewhere(leak in the intake track) from loose hose clamp, ect.

Didn't you just get your mustang a few months ago?

Most likely it's either one or both of those 2 responses.
