Okay first of several new build issues is proving to be the biggest head scratcher.
In the tuning process. Car just wont idle, surges up and down - until I push the clutch to the floor. While I hold it there car will idle just fine.

So what gives? Obviously transmission in neutral. I mean the car is on jack stands.
I did a full wire tuck but my connections must be good regarding the clutch otherwise the car wouldn't start lol

ANY ideas?

I had my car running while on jackstands once because I was searching for driveline noise. It ran the same way.

Put your car back on the ground and see if that solves your problem.
