no vacuum leaks, have a cold air intake almost brand new, just changed battery 2 weeks ago.

now my bac valve is crap! i have that idling issue.
i am very suspicious about the alternator though!
my electric gauge always sits a little below 15

i don't get this car!

me too

I don't have the stalling probs, but I get terrible gas mileage, and my voltmeter always reads a steady 15.5amps. I have yet to really go into problem diagnosis because the weather hasn't been cooperating with my repair-time schedule.
