Default Problem with stalling

I have a 98 vert with a 2001 engine in it. I just purchased it in NOV from a person in Fla. I drove it all the up to CT with no problem but now
it idles up and down between 500-800 rpm and then will go real low and stall. Any ideas on what I need to do. The 2001 was rebuilt with new springs,and rockers. Thanks Sal

Default stalling

There are no codes. When I brought it to then local dealer they had to replace a o2 sensor and cleared all codes. But the DIC still says service engine soon and the dealer said they could not clear it. On the same note I had them put in a new tire sensor and they tried to reprogram all 4 tires and could only do one. Well I got all four done when I got it home so I really am at a lose at to what to do next.

What kind of airbox are you using? Might be an air leak at or around the throttlebody.
