It seems completely random when it happens - I'm tempted to pull my MAF's and clean them out a bit, or at least reset my ECU. Fairly convinced it's a tuning issue for me.

my car also seemed like it wanted to die at idle. this happened when the car was completely stock. I then added g3's, 19 row cooler, berk exhaust and tune and the car still bogged down at idle. I thought it might have been the fans kicking on and putting load on the electrical system but the two wound up being unrelated. I still don't know what it could be, I had the fan control tune from uprev and it did not help. whatever it is, it has never happened on my g37 sedan.
