welcome to the forum. is this a new tuner/tunes or have you had it for a while? sounds like a issue in the tunes. contact bama so they can dbl check things
mdlinvil,Hey guys,
Im having some issues with my 09 v6 and tuning it.
I have found that after I run a tune (or even return it to stock) that it has some terrible idle surges for a bit after the tune.
It seems to be the worst when coasting in neutral. I mean the car goes crazy, 1000-3000rpm jumps.
I have read some posts about the PCM being a problem but I need some help, bad.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Now I know what makes your tunes so special! :laughlittThis would cause erotic idle behavior
oh ya, ok. i thought maybe he just got it, and gave a bad number, but then it wouldnt run at all. for sure you want to have a clean throttle body. that can cause erratic idling. not to mention decent plugs. also maybe make sure all the intake connections are tight. also look at the maf, if its dirty get some cleaner for that too. but really crazy surges? almost sounds like a vacuum leak. did you install a oil catch can off the pcv? if it runs half decent driving it, its probably not the tune, and like said some other issue(s)amustangrocks,
I actually don't believe it is in the tune because he states that the same issues occurs when he goes back to the stock tune. What it sounds like to me is a dirty throttle body that is throwing off the TPS sensor. This would cause erotic idle behavior at the very least. Plus, as already mentioned, cleaning the MAF sensor isn't a bad idea either.
I appreciate your suggestion, I just feel this is more of a mechanical issue causing the main issue.
