Bad AEM box?!?!

Ok, I don't exactely have the best of luck, and I've pretty much cancelled out every other possibility thus far (IE: fuel pump, lines, filter, idle motor etc all of been replaced and cancelled out). But my car WONT idle at all. If my foot comes off the gas in neutral, the car stalls and dies. Now it was working fine for a while and one day POOF! The car feels weaker and now doesn't idle and seems to run leaner (seems because i have a sad excuse for a AF gauge). Mark from TurboTrix said that I should send the box to AEM with a note that says: "Please transfer the map to a new box." Has anyone heard of this ever happening? A tune dissolving and idle gone?

What i said was, send it back and have them fix it.. If you needed a new box they can transfer your .cal file to the new one. The only reason why i said it was your aem box was because after changing your idle motor and it did nothing , i then changed your aem box to one we had at the shop. It fixed it right away, idled fine. You might have a bit of bad luck, but an easy fix. It tough when you buy stuff on the internet, yes you get the best deal but in this case its just a hassle. AEM might make you return it from where you got it and then have them send it in. Had you bought it from us, i would of swapped it that day

Good Luck
