Default Any ideas on how to fix a stalling problem?

Tuned by Power House Performance.

Throttle Body Coolant ByPass
B&M Trans. Cooler
PowerLoader II
Bilstein Sport Shocks
LS1Edit PCM Tuning


This is a list of everything tuning wise that is done to my car. Sometimes if I give it a lot of throttle or start it , the idle will go up and down and it will want to stall or stall. Will resetting the computer by pulling the #16 and #23 fuse effect any of my other mods or tuning? Will it help with the problem?

The short answer is no, resetting the PCM (pulling the fuses) will not correct you stalling issue. You either have a bad air leak, or need a tune.

Wouldn't a bad air leak trigger a code? Damn I think I need a dyno tune.

I've had this issue also. I brought it up in the forums a few weeks back. I was told to clean out the intake system with Sea Foam. (some said it wouldn't do anything for the problem but I figured it couldn't hurt).. and check the intake hoses AFTER the maf. Well, cleaning the TB means taking off the intake anyway so "checking" it was moot.
Once cleaned and reassembled, it doesn't stall anymore. Once in awhile, the idle comes down to "shakey" engine but doesn't actually stall. I think I still have the issue but it's been band-aided enough to keep it running.

oh, BTW, I also tried taking out my granatelli maf and putting in the stock. Didn't make a difference for stalling but the nos sure didn't hit as hard with the stocker so I put back the g.

Ok so I realized something and now it seems to not stall, I realized that I had the window Valet on accesory mode which leaves the accesories on. When I had the stalling problem the other day, the lights and the Ac were still on. So today I programmed the acc to not be on and turned off the lights and ac and it did fine. It only does this when you start it a second time and not the first time in the morning so I hope this was at least a band aid for the problem.
