stalling problem
i have a o3/zo6 vette .i had not driven it for approximately two weeks and the battery was dead.,so i jumped started it.i drove the car for about 25 miles,no problem.i stopped at a light n when i decided to move off,the car keep stalling.it started up fine but every time i let out the clutch it stalls.there was no hard or soft codes,but it flashed "charging system" once on the info panel.the display panel shows 11.8 volts,with the car not running,and 12.7 with the motor running.like i said the car starts up without the motor dragging,but whenever i try to move off the car would stall.i left the car sitting for about 1 hour.then tried again,this time the car runs perfect,no stalling,and reads 14.3 volts.the following morning i took it to the dealer,they went over the charging system and found no problem.they said that this was due to the low voltage.i am no buying this because if that was so,it would have done so when i first jump started the car,and not after i had driven 25 or more miles......does anyone have any idea what the problem might be,or has experience anything like this before??

Re: stalling problem (JAMUSA)
Is it possible you just got a crappy battery? When my batter started to go bad I had some of the same symptoms and then I switched batteries and it fixed it all. The service guys said the battery I had was fine but I suspect that it was being charged, but not holding the charge.
I hope this helps.
