dealer ran a full check on the engine when i took it in for the ignition module, they said it didnt need to be tuned, and the injectors are fine. if i leave the car on and just let it sit it pops and gurgles and does a lil shudder

Buddy has a stock L61 sedan and it has similiar symptons.

Idle drops, and shifts hard. He says once warmed up he doesn't noticed them, and it has thrown a map code.

Bumping this for my own personal reasons, as it's related and I would too like some insight.

Mine drops like that too, its an LSJ though. It has NEVER stalled though. Its not consistent...but does it only when its cold (when it decides to do it)

I think there is something went wrong about your ignition module. Did you check it?
