I replaced the idle microswitch already. I've tested the CHT at different temps and it seems to be in spec. Now, if it is acting erratic, that could be a possibility.

Don't put his in your car for fear you may have some fault that broke your ECU.

Good idea, just have to find someone who has a car like mine. That has been quite a challenge.
