stalls in gear
car wants to stall and sounds like it wants to die in gear when not moving. put ont performance module, msd super conductor wiresand hypertech cap and rotor and bosch plat. +4. is my motor trying to draw power from the battery and not getting enough. when it wants to stall the voltage gauge drops when motor wants to kill. the timing is perfect . could it be because of a lean condition from all the spark or do i need a high amp alternator. any comments or ?s to help would be appericated.

It is not drawing more amps then it has. With any motor when it starts to die the voltage will drop because the alternator is turning slower then its intended use. It sounds to me that your torque converter is staying locked in. P.S. I would lose the platinum+4. They are junk. You are not increasing spark at all. It is just taking the same amount of spark and dividing it by 4 for each electrode. This causes them to blow out under cylinder pressure then they foul.

i just got the tranny rebuilt 15,000 miles ago and had a new converter put in. i think im going to take the plugs out because theyre not impressin me any. new discovery if the car iwarmup to about 230 and i sit in drive and press the power windows the car will die. im think fuel from a bad map or votlage problem but not sure just theories

after talking to someone online im convienced its a vac leak in my brake buster. when i did the tuneup in started leaking but i pushed it in and stopped. maybe at low rpm the pressure is grater. when im stopped i can save it from dieing if i feather the brake
