Default Turbo Civic problems!

I have a 95 turbo civic with a d16z6, and over the past few days it has been idleing wierd. When i come up to a stop and put it in neutral the rpm drops to 0 almost stalls and then fluctuates between 250-600. Today i was driving and I decelerated in second and then gave it gas again and it started jerking really bad and wouldn't let me accelerate unless i punched it. What is wrong with my car? Thanks for any help.

What ECU do you have? How much boost? Sounds like a bad tune. Run crome.

well your first problem is that FMU.. its really hurting you..

Get a real source of tuning.. Chipped p28 with some sort of program. id also recommend upgrading your injectors

Now go do a comrepssion and leakdown test to be sure there is really no internal damage. But the bad idle could be issued with a failing Map or TPS sensor.

well that was hating but now its fixed. so is it possible to go to a normal shop to check out the problem cause there are only a few shops that deal with turbos around me and they are booked full. Is there a chance its a simple problem?

Just wondering but when I do take it to get tuned or take it to the shop, could I be causing damage by driving it?

Well I don't really know..got the car a month ago, but the guy said he cleaned them often so they might be a bit worn out for the plugs.
