Lost again! Still has a problem...

Checked all my vacuum hoses, checked the air bypass valve. Still idles about 2200 on start up & dies several times. Can't pull a code. When it tries to die, check engine light comes on, other than that, it's off. Fuel economy is terrible as is the performance. Any clues?
