The most irritating effects are when I either let off the throttle and coast or come to a stop. Sometimes, the engine will cut off if I let off the gas and start to slow down. It will chug a couple times, then just completely die. It restarts fine. What's more common, is when I come to a stop the car will bounce the idle to just barely stalling. It'll drop, jump up, drop jump up. I need to keep my foot slightly on the gas to get it to stablize -- which is annoying to do at every stoplight.
The problem is random, and can sometimes be fixed by turning the car off, and restarting it. That can occasionally keep it at bay for an hour or so.
I've checked for vacuum leaks, and none were found. I've replaced the following parts:
Spark plugs
Fuel injectors
Fuel pump
Fuel filter
Engine mounts
Transmission mounts
* Had a NASTY exhaust leak fixed at header, also.
(Note, these weren't replaced in hopes of fixing the above problem -- they were replaced due to just needing to be

My fuel system is peachy, so I'm sure that's not the problem. I'm torn between it being my IAC, or possibly, my BOV. As I understand, venting to atmosphere can cause idle problems. I've removed my manual boost controller, and connected all the stock gear and I'm about to remove the BOV and IC and return it to stock as well -- to see if it helps or not.
So.. what do you think?
