Troubleshooting - Car stalling at idle

At idle car will randomly die like a switch was flipped while idling. It will eventually restart but makes me not want to drive it.
Log (lat several minutes attached) show MAP climbing just before it dies. Not sure if this is a symptom or the cause of it stalling.
I am running out of things to look at. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
MS-II, 3.0.
sw. 2.8880

Is it really idling at 1800 rpm? And the TPS graph shows exactly zero all the time? I'd expect to see a bit of jitter on that even with the throttle closed.

I had earlier increased the idle to try and prevent it stalling. It will idle for 10-15 minutes with no input on throttle.
Long enough for cooling fan to cycle several times.
Then randomly the car will just die like it was switched off.
The log was an attempt to see what was happening just before it died.
This is when I noticed the slight uptick in MAP that preceded it dieing.
What I am not sure is, if this is if the MAP increase is because the car is already dieing or did this cause it to die.

I suspect the MAP increase is caused by whatever is going wrong. Can you post a copy of the tune file as well? That will give everyone more to go on.
