you probably have to lean it down a bit more on the v-afc. and set the fuel pressure regulator to stock pressure, thats alot of fuel pouring into the motor on idle.
If you already did that then probably your spark plugs are starting to get fouled out, you might want t o change them.
hope that helps.
