Did it like 3 or 4 times already and still nothing changed. Maybe I'll give the JWT method a try. It will be cheaper than buying a new throttle body should I mess that up.

+1 on having another problem. If you did get all your reset procedures to work, then you have another problem. Anything from a cracked hose to a leaky gasket. Improper installation of the spacer, something air related. All though my '03's idle is nothing close to steady, i dont stall. Good luck with things.

intake leaks or improper tuning/maf scaling (LTFT and STFT) cause the cars to stall

have you
1. removed all your air intake mods back to stock to see if the idle is still messed up?
2. checked for damage on MAF sensor/test voltage resistance
3. the throttle body is all software ecu controlled, so hardware changes will only make things worse. +1 on adam's comments. there is something fundamentally wrong with the car or the install of the mods.

When the unichip is removed it dosen't stall at all, but then I have to worry about leaning out. So whats worse occasional stalling or runing lean?

you need to get it tuned...if it was tuned, it needs to be tuned again, with specific emphasis not only placed on wot (that's not the hard part) but overall driveability as well

Remove the intake and put the stock one back in and I bet your stalling problem goes away. It's free to try.

For others to learn more about intakes causing the car to die.

Turbulent air is the cause with a intake, and the MAF readings get screwed up then the car dies.

wrong. the dealer can do it for any year OTHER than 04.5s. they can do 03 04 05 06 they usually charge one hour labor to raise it up. if you know someone with a cipher, it will work also.
