If youve got aftermarket cams you might be getting some overlap which makes your map signal unstable at idle. 

You could make a second fuel table that uses a virtual aux as a switch, so switches to an idle fuel map that's TPS based when you're below say 2% throttle and 1500rpm.

I've had a quick look over your log.  I think your MAP signal looks usable as is.  A couple of thoughts:

  1. Set up the CLL lockouts so it is disabled at idle, it looks like that is chasing its tail a bit.
  2. You only have 0° advance at idle, most engines would be happier with a bit more than that, try 10-15.
  3. Your injector timing is at 540°, that is a bit unusual, most engines with the injector close to the valve will work best around 380/400 at idle.  Try shifting it in say 30deg steps an see if it improves anything.
  4. Also, there are no indications of trigger issues in the log but just to confirm I would get a timing light on it, lock the ignition timing (open the set base timing screen) and just watch that the ignition timing is relatively stable at idle.  If for intnace the crank sensor was wired back to front it will bounce +/-10deg once every revolution when the gap goes past.
