    Now that the Mass Air Meter is working better, try resetting the baseline. I had to drive about 10 minutes before my 95 learned the new tune. It is a free fix and a nice day for a drive.

    how would i go about doing this? clearing the ECU and just driving around for about 15 min while the ECU re-learns?

    It has been awhile but I think it was something like:
    Disconnect the positive terminal from battery.
    Disconnect the IAC.
    Clean the heck out of the IAC and TB with CRC or brake cleaner.
    Short the Positive to the negative.
    With the Positive shorted to ground, press the break petal three times.
    Hook the battery back up.
    Start the car and adjust the base idle screw to something reasonable.
    Turn the car off.
    Re-connect the IAC harness.
    Take the car for a 10 minute run.

    At first I did not think it helped, but after driving for 10 minutes I realize that the car was not stalling at lights.

    This is all from memory. I'd would get confirmation on the process before proceeding with this.

    Like I said. It is all from my memory and my memory is shot. Good luck.
