car stalling under hard braking?
My car tends to stalls everyonce and a while when I panic stop and I was wondering if it could be something that I could change in the chip. A little background; mods to car listed below, Ive gotten the chip so that the BLMs are within 124 - 128 so I think Im pretty good there, and the IAC counts are only like 30 so I dont think that has anything to do with it. The idle right now is set to 750 and I was wondering if bringing the stall saver spark up to 675 from 550 would help and how much spark does each threshhold have.(there are 3). Just my thoughts and I would like anyones on the subject. Thanks

When I first converted to TPI it would stall whenever I came to a stop from moderate cruising. Turns out the minimum air wasn't adjusted correctly. When the motor would come down to idle the IAC couldn't react fast enough to keep the motor running.
Just a simple suggestion... also if the oil pressure drops alot the fuel pump will cut out.
