Welp. Looks like I still got more problems then just an AFM. Still starts up then stalls. Have to apply some throttle for it to finally start and run. Let go of the throttle and stalls. It also seems to hesitate a bit when "blipping" the throttle but it was cold so, yeah.

It also smells pig rich too. Maybe why it hesitates when "blipping" the throttle. Might just be a cold start/open loop deal. The rich fuel smell seems to diminish once warmed up.

I then proceeded to unplug the ICV again and immediately the idle raises up to about 1000-1100 rpm and the engine stays happy. Check engine light comes on for the ICV of course but sounds as if the next thing to try is the ICV.

I am curious though if anyone has had a bad dme trying to fix this issue? Like the output signals from the dme to the ICV become corrupt?

Anyone please chime in on this and let me know what you think.

Thank you.
