Possibly a sticky stepper motor. Read up about stepper motor function and it’s effects on idle performance.

Download ECUMATE operating instructions that detail all this in plain English, well worth a read.

First step would be to remove stepper from plenum chamber and clean it and see if that cures it. Sticky stepper is usually a sign it’s near the end of its reliable life.

Could be other problems but best to look at stepper first. Hope that helps
