Car stalls, any ideas.?? Working on a 2000 C5 Automatic. Just installed a new Iron Block 408, DTE Stg. 5 rear-end, Rossler racing 4L65E and the RaceTronix Fuel pump with the plug-n-play wire harness and 42 ld. Injectors. And to top it all off a nice custom NX direct port pilled for a 500 shot with a progressive and a stand alone fuel system.
My problem is after installing everything; I cranked the car up to running temp. It ran nice. After that I killed it and let it sit overnight to cool. I retorqued the heads, and then took it for a ride. It was nice, but after 4 or 5 miles I started to notice a miss. I went home to check everything out. Now the car stalls after 20 sec. of idling, or if you try to put it into gear it stall, like you turn the key off....Any ideas???

The long term fuel trims are both "0" or negative numbers. Whick are perfect. I killed the TR8 plugs because they are VERY COLD plugs for my bug nitrous ruuns. They suck for NA applications, they don't allow very much of the fuel to burn completely... That's why for the break in which is what I'm trying to do now, I've installed the TR6 plugs.
Dumb question....does this car have a tune in it? Not just a WOT tune but, drivability? Too much fuel maybe at idle?.... does it DIESEL when you try and shut it off?... anyways, like assassin said...check your trims.

The car has a baseline tune. Moe Bailey did for me. I shipped him my PCM for that. The trims are both at "-" numbers or right at "0" I can't get it over 4000 rpms until I get everything broken in properly. DTE will void my warrantee If I don't do there break in right. The car ran the first time I cranked it up. I drove it for 5 miles, until I started hearing a miss. Now, it will only idle for about 20 seconds. And the second you go to out it into gear it shuts off.
