Default idle dropping

the cars revs drop to zero or the car stall when you take your foot off the accelerator. had the car into the dealers today and they dont know what the problem is. then someone told me he thinks the car is getting too much cold air, the car had a tek3 remap in the summer one of the hottest days of the year but since then i have added an sti intercooler and water injection with no alter to the map, could this be a cause of the problem and do youthink i need the car remapped again

andy i was told by a specialist garage, in their opinion it was underfueiling but after a long drive today the car is starting to drive better must of been that flat battery, but ive contacted TSL motorsports and ill be getting the car remapped again in a couple of weeks, so will cure it and ill have loads more power with my other mods tweaked in
