Sounds to me like your ERP is too low or CFM is too large.  What values
are you using now?

Try ERP=1.0 and CFM=0.0001 and see what happens.  If you get oscillations,
increase the CFM to 0.001; if you don't, try a smaller CFM like 0.00001.  
That's basically how I have tuned most systems I've created, that approach
has worked well for me so far.
