If you have your original mass air meter, take it off and spray it out with cleaner then use air to blow it out, see if that helps.

I chased my idle for a year..........changed vacuum lines, pulled codes, cleaned (and replaced) IAC, and MAF......replaced o2 sensors...........nothing worked.

Threw in an SCT chip, got a dyno tune......my car now idles PERFECT!!!!

Good luck!
