First off -- and this is a touch point -- please don't use all caps. Second off -- change your fuel filter lately??? Best guess for you with no other data. Satan might not want to touch your car with a Star Stage 2 on it... as far as the A/F meter not bouncing back and forth -- what does it do?? No signal -- change your 02 sensor. If it is pegged on lean or rich -- well thats a whole different story. But right now it sounds like 02 sensor and / or fuel filter.

well me and one of my chef's hooked up obd2 scanner tool trouble code read mis fire on #1 plug so we cleard the code restarted the car same problem. so we swiched the spark plug wires around and it stopped idleing bad everything back to normal no it don't run like new so i order new set of msd wires and ngk vx plugs as well as thermo tech header wrap to keep all the turbo heat out of the engine. hoppfully when i install yne new plugs /wires it will run even smoother.thanks for all of you who looked at /replyed to this message emoji i love my eclispe and have learned so much from the guys on the fourm hopefully this problem will not return.i also am going to replace my fuel filter this weekend. (concentrating on prevent maint for now) later i do the auto-stick mod.
