Default Car stalls out after converter install

After I installed my vig.3600, the car doesn't like idleing very well and after pulling to a light it acts like it wants to die and 90% of the time it does die, especially after going from reverse to drive.
What is Wrong?????????

You can drill the TB air hole a little bigger or you can raise the "idle air" table a little with LS1Edit.

Your problem is not that uncommon with loose converters. Think about it, your RPMs when you suddenly let off the gas fall from a higher RPM, fall faster, and therefore a little farther before the IAC can make the proper adjustments.

There is an idle relearn procedure on LS1.com.
Mine stalled once or twice right after install but corrected by itself.
Hope this helps.

I didnt ever hear the idle re-learn until yesterday after ls1edit changes. Car started up like it had a fat nasty cam in it, cleared up in 10-15 seconds.

Runs pefect now. On the same note I am doing my stall this week, I will let you know if I had problems.
