When i turn my steering wheel all the way to one side the car almost stalls out.

Sometimes when i come to a red light the car seems to want to stall out all by itself. The RPMs drop below 400 and then come back to around 600.

I brought it in to the dealer and they replaced the idle control valve PN 13 41 1 744 713
this didnt help.

Brought it back and they reprogrammed the car. this seems to have made it worse.

I have the B&B Triflo, but i really dont think that has anything to do with the problem. The car ran fine for months with the aftermarket exhaust so i don't see how it would cause this problem.

i posted this message about 1 month ago and the car is still running like crap. any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
