Ya if you can't get the cal file out of the EMS we are just guessing what what could possibly be wrong and even more difficult to have you make the changes to correct it. I would say just explain this to the tuner you trust and if they know the AEM they can fix it quickly if they can't fix it please FIND A NEW TUNER. Trust me on this.

Couple things to check:

idle feedback at idle should be tuned for -5 to -6%
High idle time can be upped
high idle speed should be about 3-500rpm over your idle, depending on your idle rpm

Also, are you utilizing the ign vs rpm error table? When setup correctly it helps stabilize idle and catch a falling idle.

sure it's a simple fix....go into the cal file and adjust. If you don't feel comfortable doing that post your cal and I'm sure a more knowledgeable aem user will be glad to help.

Where did you come from, you are not the thread creator. Are you just having the same issue?

Who tuned your car? Have you made any changes since the tune? Do you want any of us to look at your cal file and give you suggestions.

You guys are going to have to post your cal files. To do that, the easiest way is to create a .zip file out of the cal file and then attach it to a post. There is a button to attach files. When you do that, you'll prob get some good feedback on your tune.
