I have a erratic idle, almost sounds like a misfire. Seems to only do it when the truck is warm. I have RV 275 injectors and a van aaken EZ box. Any sort of load on the engine and it smooths out. like if it put it in gear, or even push on the brakes it smooths out. Any ideas? possibly injectors?
 
I have a 99 that does the same thing, ive only put roughly 700 miles on it since ive put the truck together and havent had much time to mess with it. Engine is 100% stock with 280k, new VP, LP and stock injectors at 256K, dosent show any codes. Keep your findings posted and ill do the same.
 
Samyota:

I recently replaced the VP on my truck. 221k on the clock. The truck came with a Van Aaken module. I left it on. I started to notice the truck wasn't running correctly. Idle was poor. I disconnected the batteries, removed the van aaken module, and did the 'reset' to the apps. The truck idles smoother, quieter, and seems to start better. I haven't tried another box to see if the truck will run as good. That is coming within the next week or so.
 
I have read that this could be caused by the injectors, pop off pressures different between injectors. I have had the van aaken for quite a while with no issues. Then added the rv275's and it ran great for months. Then all of a sudden this problem started.
 
Have your injectors tested. I had a lopey idle when my VP was on it's last leg.
