ok im thinking its a sensor but im not sure. When I start the car and its cold it idles fine BUT!!! when i drive while its cold it stalls. For example I'm driveing to a stop light. When I put it in neutral and take my foot off the gas pedal to stop at the light. The idle will go down dramatically or it will stall/cut off.
Now the vac is fine its pulling a vac at 21 on the boost gauge.

When the car is warm and I pull up to a stop light with the car in neutral it idles at 900-1000 rpm. Im thinking its a sensor I havent checked the codes yet I'll do that tommorrow more than likely.

and it only does it when its cold? or all the time, cause if its all the time and you have a bov venting to the atmosphere it will do that

it has the stock BOV setup it a stock motor just has a Walbro fuel pump
my bigger concern is it idleing high when warm.

make sure your TPS is adjusted correctly also, they are cheap enough, replace your coolent temp sensor. Also, you stated that you have a walbro pump, if it an upgraded unit, have you bypassed the J-tube. If not, do that as it causes the fuel pressure to rise above what the FPR is trying to set the pressure at.
