Default any 1 else running a aem ems and having issues with their i/ac valve?

I had it replaced once already because it failed. The car was running fine for a while, but then a couple days ago my car only idled around 4-6k.Now it just won't stay running @ all. I'm just curious if there is a way to fix that problem for good and if I'm not the only one with this issue

not an expert, but did you check your couplers and your maf sensor, everytime i have idling issues its because a coupler came off or like last time, i guess the heat melted one of the wires for the maf sensor, and my idle was all screwed up. Took me a while to figure out is was one of the wires to the sensor. but i never had a problem with the iac before

I checked everything out for leaks and such but couldnt find anything. I dont have any vac leaks according to my gauge and as for the maf. its hooked up but since im on a stand alone i believe im not using the maf for anything so i doubt thats the prob. Thanks for the suggestions though

Update just incase any one was wondering what happend. Desided to disemble the valve in a last resort attempt. I looked at the part where the valve sucks in and holy crap! the screen part was totally covered in carbon build up. couldnt even see in it. cleaned it and re-installed and car idles better then it ever has since using the aem and best of all no more stalling! Thank god i have one issue out of the way

Did your guys look at the tune or was that not necessary?

Yea I actually brought it to them today to show them my findings and they cleaned the tune up a bit.I asked him why the aic was set to 100% all the way through and he said when ever he lowers it the idle goes extremely low. He showed me too. The delay the trottle has is 90% better then before also
