Idle hunting
Just installed a Boost Up ROM Tuned ECU and now getting an idle hunt after the engine warms up to normal operating speed. Ran fine with stock unit. Any suggestions?

the factory computer is reset simply by disconnecting the battery and holding your foot on the brake pedal for ten seconds. I'm not sure if that is going to work with a chipped ECU, but worth a shot never-the-less.
While it's warm, double check the fast idle cam on the intake plenum and verify that it has completely rolled off the throttle. That can cause it to hunt because it sees a zero throttle position, yet a high flow of air, and a warm engine. these computers are not smart, i could name another ten things that can cause an idle hunt, none of which include what kind of exhaust you have
