I had the same problem on my 97 DSM and never fixed it. Drove it like that for years. I learned how to shift at what rpm so that it doesn't stall. I would give it a tap of gas sometimes when going into neutral so that it wont stall. I was thinking it could be a BOV issue.

Thank you for your input. I will try to test it later on when I have time. Still too busy with work

Just trying to find what's going on there.
I don't have the AFR gauge at all. I will check with my tuner again to see if the AFR is stable or not ?

I did raise the idle to 1100rpm but it could not fix the RPM dipping issue.

I don't really have anything to log the car. I always rely on the tuner to help.

I think I may need to purchase the cable and learn to mess around with my car.

I happened with my plastic BOV, metal BOV (MR version) and also my Turbosmart BOV (Recirculated) as well.

I have got another tune after the clutch and intercooler replacement but It did not fix the issue.

Did you take off the tb and clean the plate? Don't! You'll have additional idle problems.

Put back the stock rubber intake pipe and it solved the problem. Iddle is super smooth now.

Thank you everyone for your contribution
