stalling/idle dip problem
i have 272 cams, and my car wants to stall with the ac when rolling then putting the car in neutral sometimes, would it not stall if i come to a roll then put it in nuetral im confused bc the car has a good tune?? the idle dips sometime anyway im confused bc it has a good tune by a reputable person. is it bad to throw the car in neutral when going fast coming to a stop? is that whats causing the idle dip?

I have the same problem but I'm on stock cams. It turned out just to be the IAC Sensor, but the problem is returning. Im currently running a Greddy RS Blow off Valve to 100% Atmosphere. Could this cause a problem with idling or drivability and would I need a retune if I got a TurboSmart 50/50?

Take the neg battery of for a few mins.
Then plug it back in. And as soon as you start the car put the a/c on full blast loud music, brights. It will idle horribly but just watch your tach. The idle will start to increase and smooth out. When it smooth out start turning your wheel full left then right the idle will drop again then slowly come it. Your car leans the idle positions and should be good to go. If not then its your sensor

Yea 5 is good. I'm not gaurenteing a fix but it's free to try and it worked on mine. Even if it does still just accel all little bit the go to neutral with the AC on and let it climb back up in rpms, also check and make sure the clamp around the turbo inlet is tight if it's leaking out there it will cause these same symptoms.

Try tightening the intake going to the turbo worked a little for me, and dont throw the car into neutral when moving fast come to almost a complete stop it should avoid the idle dip, helped me a bit.
