unstable idlling-stalling im going nuts

Just in case, check that your throttle cable is adjusted correctly first i.e. no slack.

Not over stretched, not too loose, but just like Goldilocks.....JUST RIGHT.

It took me a quite a few months after I purchased my TL almost 5 years ago to realise that the throttle cable was loose.

And after I got it back from Mitsfix after the 380/6g75 swap it was loose again.....but even more so.

This is somewhat understandable, as the modified 380 upper manifold has the throttle cable bracket TIG welded on and is not a factory original fitting and the throttle cable adjustment may have been overlooked due to the time pressure that Brendan was working under.

It pays to check this very basic item.

no expert but i'm pretty sure it's just right.. the feeling is there, tightness and the response from the engine the instant i step on the pedal

That sounds OK.

But just to be sure.....is there any slack in the cable when you raise it up by hand before the throttle pulley moves?

I did not seem to find anything amiss when operating the throttle from the cabin, but I only noticed the problem when I opened the bonnet and made a close inspection of the actual throttle body.....where I saw the slackness of the cable.

will give you a good understanding of what is involved.

Note at the start that the throttle cable is very loose.
