New GN....finally
New to the site and have been looking for a GN since I got rid of my Cobra last February. Just picked it up Wednesday(87) and its been sitting for a bit. Price was right, and needs some TLC. Doesn't like to stay running when cold, smooths out a bit once its warm. If I can't figure it out, i'm 3 miles from Jack, so that makes me feel good

the scanmaster will be my first purchase. I believe the drivers header is cracked too. when it builds boost, the boost gauge quickly maxes out( i know they aren't terribly accurate) then I hear a fluttering sound fromthe drivers side. I drove it around today for the first time, so I was easy on it. i will try the IAC though. Thanks for the advice.

Cleaned IAC this am. Was definitely caked with crap. Throttle body was nasty too. After I did that it started right up, not wanting to die out. Once I gave it some gas to see if it would break up, it stalled out on me. Driving it, it was still choppy and idles up and down. Thanks for the info though. Starts up much better now, just have to work on the rest. Also, the hoses going to the throttle body fromt he intercooler were covered in what looked like oil. Is this normal?

The IAC may be bad/worn. you'll need a scan tool to verfy counts. Definitely check ALL your vacume hoses/connections for deterioration, cracks, and hardness. Also, if you car has a smaller than stock convertor ( and the tune hasn't been corrected ), it will cause a stall condition as you have described.

Met "The Man" today and bought a scanmaster. I should have it hooked up soon, and get some readings so I can make sense of the shitty running. Talked with him for almost an hour, showed me his shop and what not. Great guy to talk to and what a personality......funny,funny dude. I'm lucky to live this close to him. Thanks Jack
