And the problems just keep coming...

aright so ive had this problem for sometime, at first it was my idle going out of control , but the problem was TPS and i replaced that and it idles fine now..now i have this problem that at any given point whether the car has just been turned on or has been running for a while, the car seems like it is going to stall but then it recovers itself, this happens a lot too when the a/c is on, also when im on the throttle sometimes it struggles but then corrects itself and then you feel it actually accelerate. im ordering the O2 simulators(LX with Kamikaze header) but as i looked through the forums it seems that its not the O2 sensors arent really the problem, any help i would appreciate it

I just had mine replaced because it failed after I changed out the fuel filter. I am assuming the shop used the OEM pump, but who knows.

Have you done the TB coolant bypass? Put it back to stock if you did. It screws with the idle. If the car is stock, reset the ecu and see if that fixes the problem. Warm up car, turn off, unplug neg battery term, put back, start car and let idle for 10 mins without touching gas or using accessories, turn car off. Should be fine now.
