When my maf was bad, i had a weird idle, and some stuttering driving, felt pretty good at WOT but then started to dump fuel. How is your ICV? Do you know if it actuates? How about your TB? do you know how well that is sealed? These are issues I had with getting my car to run right. The omni 4 bar is like $100 on MAP, and its just a small sensor and quite expensive, but it solved my issues right away

Do you have evo scan? You can go into evo scan and watch values while idleing and it makes diagnosing the issue easy

Im on SD, but when the car had a bad MAP sensor it went quite a while before the car got bad enough to throw a code (the car died when i was at a stoplight, luckily limped it to work). I had been chasing the MAP sensor for a couple months before I found it. evo scan is the way to go

thanks you for the help will try to wait for evoscan before throwing cash on a MAF sensor

It'll be your fuel pressure changing.
