    Default VS ideling funny

    Past few days my vs has been ideling really weird. On a cold start its fine but after im driving for a bit and pull up at the lights and wait a bit it starts to drops rpm and sounds like it spits a bit when doing so too, then once it does that the engines goes back to normal then starts again. I have also noticed too that when i go to plant it sometimes the engine like cuts out then goes back to normal......

    Recently i just got a new fuel pump installed few days before this started.

    If it was me i'd first replace the coil pack, then if it still does it, replace the spark plugs and maybe lead after that (highly unlikely it's leads though).

    The fuel pump could be a coincidence. But does not hurt to get it checked. Did you replace it yourself or a mechanic did it?

    Great that means it's the mechanics fault if it's not the coil pack or the spark plugs and so on. So don't go yelling at him just yet.

    Could be a blocked fuel filter....and I'd also be a bit sus about the swapped ECU.

    Not the coolant temp sensor? - the one that tells the ECU the engine is hot and to lean the mixture out? Maybe put the original ECU back in. DFI module could also be bad.
