i recently purchased a 2000 ws6 and it has a fast 102mm nick Williams 102 tb ls2 heads 180 degree thermostat longtube headers and a mail order tune. the guy said when he had it tuned they pulled as much timing as they could because he wouldn't be driving the car a lot, he said that I need a 160 degree thermostat for the car to run and idle right. when I first start the car up, it wont stay running unless I keep my foot on the gas. but when I start driving it it is fine for awhile until I come to a stop then the idle bounces up and down and eventually stalls. do u thihk the thermostat will solve the problem or is it in the tune

You don't need a 160 thermostat. You need a tune and you need to have a mod move this to the tuning section.

is it a automatic

if its a automatic and it has a cam you need a stall converter. and ses lights on

It's a 6 speed

You need to get it to somebody that knows what they are doing to tune it. The T-Stat won't have that kind of effect on the car.

Nope, a t-stat will not aid your cause there. Sounds like your base runnng air flow tables and timing are out of wack... but just a guess. A mainifold leak or and exhaust leak could cause something like this as well. If mechanically you are sound, then you need to have it tuned properly
