whenever i start my car it will run fine for a bit. but when i come to a stop or let off the gas, the car idles for a bit then stalls. if i try to start it after that it will keep stalling unless i have my foot on the gas, if i let the rpm drop below 1500 the engine stalls. the car has H/C/I, injectors, throttle body and maf done to it. do you guys think i dyno tune will help solve this problem? any suggestions would be appreciated. another issue i have is that when i have the engine rev'd up and let off the gas, the rpm will stay at that rpm for a bit before it slowly comes down. but even as it comes down it will stay around 1500 for a few seconds before coming down to idle. when it comes down is when the car tends to stall.

It could be...

When you say that the idle hangs like that, my first guess would be a vaccum leak.

Try moving your throttle by hand on the throttle body with the car off and see if there any rough spots in it...could also be a charging problem, check the basics: battery, alternator, power and ground....other than that you should check your vacuum lines for a leak, and do tests on the TPS, IAC, and EGR. Good Luck

+1 i'd put money on it.

one more thing to check after you do the idle reset - unplug the mass air and see if it runs. it should. if the idle comes down and it idles fine, then the mass air needs to be re-cal'd to the injectors. again, do the idle reset FIRST, then check the mass air.
