Have you pulled codes after the car stalls? Do not turn off the ignition when it stalls, just pull the codes.
I found my problem! I just tried something right now , my diablosport predator. When I started having problems I had been doing some adjustments to shift firmness, fan on/off temps . Apparently I adjusted something to where it killed the engine when I put it in drive. What I did a few moments ago was to put my stock tune (which was my dyno tune) back with all perimeters reset . That is what did it, kind of left me confused as to I have always adjusted my setting with my predator and never had any problems. Oh well, thank you very much 8VETTE7 for all your help!
