When I let off footfeed it idles so slow that it dies. I asked the question once and donated $20.00 to get an answer. I haven't heard anything and was wondering if this is some more fraud just to get money

I assure you this isn't fraud. When a donation is made, the question is put to the front of the line for answering within 24 hours. I'm not sure why yours wasn't. Regardless, if you have an idling issue, usually it is the result of one or two things. First, check to make sure there are no engine vacuum leaks. If you can't locate any, rent a vacuum gauge and check intake vacuum at as close to idle as you can get. It should be around 17. If that checks good, then I recommend checking the idle air control valve. It is located on the throttle body and responsible for maintaining the engine idle speed. Also, if the check engine light is on, scan the computer for trouble codes and let me know what you find.
