ya right, I know... like tonight, I was out, and I went to stop at a stop light, and it stalled out... I think I have a small vacuum leak though, I gotta check on that, I am hearing kinda like a hissing sound that seems like it is comin from under the plenum.

do u have the stock chip? If you do, thats probably why its stalling out. My TGP would CONSTANTLY stall out right when you come to a stop. It always did it when leaving the school parking lot, talk about embaressing. New chip i had some1 burn me and it has never dont it again.

ya, it is still stock chip. It hasn't stalled since that night, but it doesn't like to start. Only when it is cold though after not bein driven a couple days, as I don't drive the car all that often really. I think the fuel pump might be going possibly, what I have done is turn the key on and off a couple times to try to prime it, and it seems to start better when I do that, and once it is warm, it will start right up every time. Idle still a little rough at times, but that is random.

Mine has the stock chip and runs near perfect.  Just because it has the stock chip doesn't mean it is the culprit.

there were several "versions" of the chip in the TGPs, there are a select few that cause stalling at stop lights and some other little issues. I cant remember the code for it tho.
