Default HELP, car is dieing went I am driveing and let off the gas

Just install a pair of jet hot long tubes and a st3500 and when I am driveing down the road and let off the gas the car dies.Or went I come to a stop, if I take it out of gear sometime it will keep running but if I leave the car in gear it will die.The LTs are reading funny sometimes they will read ok like -01 to +03 then they will jump up to + 16 +18 then go back down and back up. HELP!!!! P.S no SES light!!!!

His is a 1998. TM is not an issue.

Turn the throttle blade screw up a tad 1/4 turn or so. It is most likely the TC.
