Based on your scenario, pull the codes and see if B1006 and/or B1007 (B0563 will usually tag along) are thrown. If so, unplug the stator from the regulator and grab an ohmmeter. Test resistance between the three terminals on the stator. should be around 5 ohms, give or take. Then check resistance from each terminal to ground. Should be infinity. I suspect youre going to see low resistance when you do this test.

According to the chart you're running too lean on both cylinders.

Do you have any intake mods or exhaust mods in play?

Low idle might be attributed to the IAC valve. Do a forum search you'll find plenty of info.
