afaik throttle plate is fully closed on idle, so cable is tight or not doesn't matter I think

I'm pretty sure he meant that it never fully closed because the cable was holding it open.

Well, my guess is that the throttle plate didn't close completly so let air in but no fuel was injected for that air = going in lean = low rpm = near stalling issue.

I just pulled a little the cable and no more rough idling so that is my guess.

Also it started the day, after my wife cleaned the engine bay completly so it had to be a wire, cable, hose or sensor.

I have the exactly same issue. PTE 1200cc injectors, stock TB with new shaft seals, EGR removed, all new hoses silicon and clamps.

When coming to a stop the idle goes to 1500RPM by itself and eventually will drop to 1000RPM and stay there. The throttle is not sticking for sure. If I let it coast at low speeds, when it reaches 1500RPM the car starts to jerk as if it reached the idle speed. Very odd.

It will die sometimes when coming to a stop. Just after I step on brake and clutch the engine dies.

Will check all the hoses again.

Try to increase the 19 & 25 area in the maf adder a little. It helped my car alittle. It still drops to 500 rpm but doesn't die out, then returns to normal idle. untill fully warmed then it rarely ever drops rpm. Its still a band-aid fix, but oh well... better than having to restart the car at every stop.

My actual tune has lower injectors latency times and the idle got much worse. Now it goes FAST from 1000 to 1500rpm, stay there for about 10s, then goes down to 1000rpm for a while.

I´m going to do a leak test right now.

Found two leaks. Fixed those and now the idle stays close to the target, but the a/f wanders a bit. Someone told me it can be the idle stepper.
