boost leak most likely.

Also do you think you can give us more info on your setup? What are you tuning with, injectors, turbo, throttlebody, etc.

any check engine lights?...like i said before,tune up,mainly plugs and wires.my eclipse doesnt have any vacum lines on it and it idles just fine.your idle air control valve might be gummed up and not working properly.the 420a carbons up in the intake realy bad on these cars so check that out

Same with my 1997 gs. If you look in my avatar. CLEAN as F*@# but under the hood is sh!t. I totally agree.
