    Mine just did this as well.. i went over all electrical plugs with some INOX. was also running rich as...Smelt really Smelly/Fuely with Black smoke
    Checked the AFM setting and was way out at 4.14v... Set it to 3.6V (Factory Lean)across pins 1 and 3 with the screw on the AFM itself with Ignition on and now is sweet as, idle is smoothed out and not doing it anymore at about 750 Rpm. Both LED's on the ECU flashing together same time at 2000 RPM
    Plugs and leads is a good start as well and as nackerz stated CAS could be starting to Fail
    Goodluck man
