Default AEM EMS: Idles fine, stalls out when clutch goes in

I have a built D16Y8 running a 1020 AEM EMS. I got the car idling down at 950RPM, but as soon as I put the clutch in, it dropped down and then stalled out. If I push the gas pedal a little, I can keep the car from stalling out, but it'll still drop down quite a bit. I've searched on here, and the only thing that I could find was related to cars with lightweight/lightened flywheels, while I am running a stock flywheel with ACT clutch. Does anybody have any ideas as to what could be going on? I was able to put the clutch in before without any problems.

I also posted this on the AEM forum, but as anyone who has been there before knows, its pretty much useless to post or even try to search there. The search feature on that site sucks *****.

set your hi idle to 200rpm, hi idle wait time to 1.5 sec's and change your hi idle speed to something like 3mph. also what is your idle learned value

edit: you can send me your cal and I'll take a look at it

Idle learned value is 0% from 1800 down through 900 RPM. I talked to Jdogg and he mentioned something about the Hi idle as well. He also suggested adjusting the Idle% so that it was around -5 to -3% normally.

My cal file is on the other computer, but I'm going to give these things a shot tomorrow and see how it goes.

thats why I asked you what your idle learned value is. I normally tune the idle to that its -2 or -3

Default

also make sure your idle screw in the tb is not all the way closed, so that if you unplug the iac the car can still hold idle.

I am also having the same problem. How do you change the parameters so that they will stay. Everytime I try to do this it goes back to 255 mph for high idle speed.. ETC.. Please help.. thanks.
