When I got my vette it had some vacuum hoses misrouted causing it to have a rough idle. Also the EGR might be opening when it shouldn't be causing it to have a rough idle, or stall.

Have you done any of the basic tune-up jobs? You konw... plugs, wires, all fluids, fuel/oil/air filters, timing, air/fuel mixture?
