Bypass the Bipes at the ECU so it's not in the circuit and then go from there.

The guy drove it to my house yesterday and we worked on the idle and fuel pressure. Everything was great and he drove it home. His wife took it to work today and when she left to go home for lunch the car was doing this: When cold - The car will start but the idle hunts. When hot - The car will stall unless you keep your foot feathered on the gas. When warm (let it cool down after it stalls) - The car starts, the rpms go to 1000 and then it dies. I still have not seen the car when it is having problems (runs GREAT when it is over here). The car is being towed to my house tonight so I can take a look at it. Any suggestions? FYI, I will be looking at the CAS connector and the TPS connector first.

A few mysterious issues developed afterward: - A strange oily liquid was in the TPS connector. - The CAS connector (factory connector) had white scale corrosion. - The Bipes cable wires were extremely brittle and would break. Stripping them back a few inches fixed this.
