    My car has been stalling a lot lately and I have no idea whats going on. Whenever I take my foot off the gas my rpms will drop really low or stall all the time. That is the only time the car will stall. Also if I drive around in 3rd gear instead of drive it almost never will stall but sometimes it still will. So do you guys have any ideas as to what exactly this could be?

    Do you have any codes? Mine was doing this and it was the MAF sensor.

    Ok I have 5 codes, so I guess I have some work to do.
    P0102
    P0108
    P0121
    P0141
    P1406

    Sometimes after it stalls when I start it back it idles really high, it will sit at like 3500. And when I put it in drive it will keep accelerating, I got it up to like 50 without any gas.

    Holy thread revival, batman!! I would hope after 2 years the OP got it fixed

    And yea, I would suspect the TPS at that point as well.

    Wha?? You're not a walking encyclopedia of DTC codes??? I haz been misled.

    Now who is going to help me when my car is making a wierd grinding noise that kinda sounds like a turbo but my car is a gt so it must be the upper intake or my over-oiled K&N filter, right??? All of my parts are stock OEM with eleventy billion miles on it so that can't be it because we all know those things last 4evar!!

    CEL whut?? Yes, I have checked. I still have an engine. Not sure why that dam light keeps bothering me to check all the time. I mean, who steals a whole motor
