yes you can.
1 wheel in front seat 2 in the back 1 in the trunk put them in garbage bags so you don't mess your interior up. Or take your car and have a homie go in there pick up truck. So they can look at your car also

i have the same issue man i doubt it is the tune. My does the exact same thing. I had a 93 octane tune and it started doing this randomly then when i did tune it still did it. I have no leaks at all, electrically tested the IAC and it was within spec, blocked off the egr.

Say you are idling normal setting still, if you kick on the headlights does it idle down quite a bit and want to stall as well? I think it is the IAC mechanically personally but i refuse to pay for one at this time haha. But that is my long frustrated .02$ lol

^weird stuff man, ya i dont think its the tune, i know they do great tuning work at FFtec.
it idles perfectly fine, the idle does not fall if i turn on lights or AC or anything, only when i let the Revs drop from like 2500 or higher then it falls under 1000 and starts to die.....

personally it might be fuel related, but its all in relearning to drive the car, when coming to a stop i dont clutch in till about 1200-1500, and then i put in neutral very seldom do i get the sputter almost die dip as i call it. It sometimes wants to do it if im in stop n go traffic, learn to modulate the clutch a bit, try my recommendation, stay in gear till you get to about that rpms then clutch into neutral.
Good luck
