just at an idle? the idle air control unit seems to go out fairly easy. i.a.c. it can be cleaned, it messes with ur idle if its bad

Idle is OK. It when you give it gas it runs rough.

Could be vacuum leak, MAF sensor, salt & pepper shakers, etc. Did you try running it without the chip?

I got the chip at a FFW. I think it was from Dioblo motersports. I will try and take the chip out.
