You need to be more specific than "the idle is screwy." Tell us exactly
what has been checked. I recommend that you:
1) verify that compression, valve adjustment, and ignition system are all fine.
2) check all the FI components via the FI cable harness with the Bosch
tester or a VOM per the manual
2a) verify that all the electrical connections are secure
3) check the electrical system voltage to make sure that it is regulating
properly (14.1-14.4 V)
4) check the fuel pressure (28-31psi)
5) try a known good brain and pressure sensor
There are many other possibilities, but we need more help to get you better
help.
