Hi, I've been fighting a stalling problem. Replaced fuel pump. That helped but I still had a stalling problem and it ran rich. I found that the spark plug wire on the right side had burned into the recycled air tube. Tied the wire away and it runs good. I believe the unburned fuel ends up into the EGRV gas sensor and messes up the control system. Check the spark plug wires before spending allot of money on injectors and ECM's.
