I would check to make sure your BISS screw is still in there. It's the highest screw on top of the throttle body. If it is, twist it out a bit to bring your idle up, and if it isn't, then you've found your problem.

Guys, I posed a question on Saturday that I called "Talon ESi drivability issues", my description was a bit different but after reading this thread the problem sounds much the same.

My friend said she found the problem went away in 3rd gear, but that must have been how she drove it as I find it the same in everything, even 4th if you lug it.

One thing that no one mentioned yet, however, is that the problem on the car I am working through is much worse when it's hot/humid. That was pointing me to the MAF sensor, based on experience with other cars.

I read elsewhere tho that if you have these symptoms and it IS the CPU that's going out, that pulling codes won't tell you anything. Is that an overstatement?

I guess right now our choice it to take it to a specialist, or maybe go for broke and try swapping in used CPU and/or MAF?

Thanks

When my ecu went bad it gave a code that the o2 sensor was bad. The book tells me if the ecu was bad the code pins would read 12v all the time, not flashing. Not true since the ecu is obviously bad. Could be maf but is there a check you could do before replacing it?
