Restore the stock tune and see if it acts the same way, does not sound like a tune issue.

He's saying this issue is happening now after he went back to stock... Had 93 octane tune -> went to stock -> now experiencing problems.

I dont know much... but I was having the same problem with my 05 mustang GT with the RPM being wild..

I made sure all the clamps were tight and everything sealed. I used MAF Sensor cleaner spray to clean the MAF sensor, and then I took off the Throttle Body and used a spray cleaner for that as well. Took off a lot of gunk buildup and made it spotless.

1. Put my car back to Stock Tune.
2. Did NOT turn car on.
3. Applied a Tune from the Diablosport Predator (91 Octane C&L Racer - because I have a C&L Racer intake.)
4. Once it was finished tuning, I unplugged the negative part of the battery.
5. After 10 minutes I plugged it back, and TURNED THE CAR ON.
6. Let car idle for 10 minutes.
7. Turned the AC on for another 10 minutes (full blast)
8. Turned off AC, and continued in idle for another 5 minutes.
9. Drove the car around town for 10 minutes, shifting below 3k RPM, nice driving.

Then I turned off the car and turned it back on after letting it set for 5 minutes...

The rough idling went away. Only thing is that it does go up and down when it's cold out.
