   could be the map sensor if its not the icv

   manifold air pressure sensor
   it registers how much air is in the manifold and sets the icv and fueling correctly
   
   they dont go wrng as much but when they do its easy to mistake

   I've just cleaned the ICV and all the other sensors around the area, and it's still doing it

   Yep cleaned that out too.. I managed to get it idling on its own for a long period of time, as in 5 minutes, then cut out again. Could too much oil do anything?
