Car wants to stall when at idle/no gas, worse when hot

Mods: Power FC, dp, mp, catback, intake, denso pump

car runs fine when it doesnt have to come to a stop.

When either idling or coming to a stop or at a light, my FD will not idle. The idle is rough even at 1k, very burbly,lumpy, like it has a port (it doesnt) and the engine is rough up to 1500 rpm. When I come to a stop, the car will go down to idle and it will immediately die. If its at about 500 rpm about to stall, if I floor it, sometimes it will do nothing and eventually stall, or sometimes it will come back to life but it is rough getting it back to 1000+rpm.

This symptom seems more pronounced when the car is warm, and worse when its very warm ie. driving on the highway for an hour and then heat soaking in traffic.

Was thinking map sensor, vac leak..

when your FPD went out, did you smell gas? I dont smell any gas under hood or anywhere else. Guess I should carry a fire extinguisher just in case
