when mine starts to hunt it typically mean i have too much of a change inbetween cells of the fuel table. try to smooth out the idle area and it might go away. if you watch the trace on the fuel map and your afr you can see where on the map its going rich or lean and fix it. Mine will typically do clockwise circles around the idle zone, normally i just need to add fuel in the cells below my idle rpm so it doesnt go lean there and start the rev pattern again.

PS. if you haven't already buy the registered version of the software. the VE analyze live feature is very nice and makes tuning soooo easy. well worth the 50 bux when u can do 2 hours of tuning in a drive around the block.

well yes kinda, i use it as a ballpark. you have to make a good afr map and know what afr you want where, it just does the grunt work of changing the cells slowly as you drive.

Idle is too lean. Probably because you need to add more fuel in the warmup enrichment.
