Stalling problems........
Everytime I stop,the damn car quits.When it is cold I have no problems.Just when the car is at operating temps and the idle drops to 750rpm it acts like a miss then the car quits.It's very,very,VERY nerve racking.
Since it has started,I've replaced the plugs,filters(air and fuel),a dead fuel pump and the IAC.
I have raised the idle to help.That didn't help at all.Adjusted the TPS.Nope...no good.
Someone said my plug wires could cause this but I don't see how plug wires would only cause a miss at idle.
Anyone have any clues?

my firebird had the same problem your having it was also jumping when i started to take off, i brought it to my mechanic and he took off my catalatic converter and looked inside, the entire inside was smashed apart pieces everywhere. i replaced it and it worked perfectly
I had the same problem a while back, it turned out to be my EGR was acting up. I took it out clean it replaced the gaskets and so far no fail code, but then again it's been pretty cold here so I am crossing my fingers. my car died while going at idle
