    As I mentioned in your other thread you need to verify the correct adjustment of the SAS screw. When mine was out of adjustment from my dad screwing with it I would have very similar issues.

    You also need to verify the BISS is in proper adjustment. You can also look for other vacuum leaks. You need to try another MAS if you have not tried that too.

    Honestly, you should have just updated your other thread so people aren't giving you fixes to try, that you already tried.

    How do I verify the SAS screw? and what is the BISS again? Do you think I'm better off taking it to a shop and having them diagnose it? I don't want to just throw parts at it till it works, and how much do you think a shop would charge since its not throwing a cel.

    Edit: I also don't think its the idle because my idle is consistent.

    It is also seeming to buck at lower rpms, it feels like when someone is driving a stick and theyre bad at it

    There is a link I posted in your other thread to verify both the BISS and SAS

    Ok, I'm going to take a video of the problem from the engine bay and pulling the throttle, I'll do it on my lunch break, so keep an eye out. Edit:

    The reason for this is the engine bay kind of sounds off to me, I don't know anyone with a 3000gt but it just sounds off. like air being sucked in which makes me think vacuum leak

    Have you replaced the fuel filter? How about trying a datalogger where you can shut off each injector to see if you have a faulty one?

    Mine used to stall when approaching a stoplight/stop sign, but mine was resolved with replacing the fuel filter (which was installed backwards & felt heavy/full of crap).

    So it stalling/dropping RPM on decel? That sounds like a classic symptom of a bad ISC. I would also test the TPS, it could be the idle switch has gone out.

    The only sucking sound I hear seems to be coming from the intake.

    I am betting it didn't stall because it wasn't warm.
