Default 1991 L98 stalls when hot

Hello to all. I have a 1991 coupe, L98, auto, climate control, 37K miles. While replacing the water pump, I had the plugs, wires, dist cap and serpentine belt replaced. The throttle body was also cleaned. Before this work and since, the car sometimes will not start without holding the throttle slightly open. I found that if I disconnected and re-connected the TPS the car would start. I cleaned the connectors and replaced the TPS, yet my problem remains.

When driving the car, up to temp and A/C on, the engine may stall when stopping. This occurs sometimes with the A/C off. At speed, the car runs great, no skips or misses.

I have the shop manuals but not all the special electronic tools needed to test some circuits.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I suspect you have an IAC problem. I would replace it and use the idle reset procedure.

check injectors. See sticky at top of tech/performance. The Ethanol in today's gas eats them up.
