Subject:1.9-idle probs&mixture

so i have screwed around with the mixture at the afm
enough to get the van to idle on its own on the second
start. first start it will die immediatly, then it
will fire up and chug along. the problem is, if i give
it some gas, it will rev up just fine,but as the revs
come back down to idle it will die. so im wondering
what would cause this? too much/not enough air/gas?
have a new aux. air regulator, and it has juice. the
idle stabilizer can be ruled out as it runs the same
way with it by-passed. i swapped in a different fuel
pres. reg. with no change. i replaced all vacum lines
recently. new plug wires,cap,rotor, plugs are a year
old. could the timing being off cause this? this
problem has all the callings of a temp 2 sensor gone
bad, but i tried 2, yes 2 new ones with no change in
attitude. grounds have been cleaned. i plan on setting
the timing,idle and fidddling with the mixture more
this weekend but i think it will help not. anybody
have any ideas? thanks
