Default Engine Stal?

Every now and then when I first start up the motor the engine stalls out. When I start it two seconds later it has problem. I had an LS1 Carmaro SS that did the same thing but less often.

Any ideas whats causing this and how I can fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Sometimes when the key returns to the "run" position from the spring loaded "start" position the key will spring back a little too far causing it to stall. Happened to me a few times until I figured it out. Hope this helps.

Do you have ant DTCs set in the DIC?? Read and post the DTCs. If there are a LOT of codes, clear them and then read them when the problem happens.

You will have 75 guesses as to what can cause this exact issue. The DTCs will help emiminate 74 of them.

Post them with paper and pencil ready press and hold the options buttom#4 while at the same time pressing 4 times quickly the fuel #1 button write down all the codes in every module with all letters and numbers.. post them up and someone will tell you there meaning. Best of luck!
key must be on and motor can be running or not to access the codes
