Default 97 WS6 with a stalling problem

A while ago the car started stalling once in a while as I would aproach a stoplight. And the car used to idle around 950 to 1050, and now it will sometimes drop down to 450 or 500. Its starting to **** me off. The car is throwing codes at the moment, but that is cause I ripped all the emissions **** when I installed the PS LT's. The header install is unrelated as the car stalled before the headers were put on.


Any ideas? the only thing I can think of is the TPS.



BTW: car is M-6

My first thought is IAC, but i would suggest getting it scanned, you may think you know all the reasons you have an SES light but you may be cutting yourself off at the knees by not having your PCM tuned to elimintate the emissions related codes.

My opinion is to pull you tb off and clean your IAC and passage ways and get all the carbon out. Then get a scan and see all your codes, then have your pcm tuned to shut off the emissions related codes.

Just my .02

Clean your IAC and the mass air. See if that helps you out any. IAC is the Idle air control valve and its located on the side of the throttle body. Really easy to take off and inspect (2 bolts if I remember correctly).

I'd get the car scanned just to make sure no other codes have shown up besides what you already know of.
