    I didnt install the parts myself, I took it to a shop. I (they) installed the plog, dp, plugs, and thermostat at the same time. I just put in the PCM last night.

    It ran fine for about 4 days, then the SES light came on. It still ran fine after that for about a week, week and a half. I dont currently have any sort of scan tool, so I need to take it somewhere and see what code it thrown.

    After I install the PCM last night (that was after the issue of it stalling) it ran just fine. I drove it for about 15 minutes.

    I now think stalling is not the right way to describe the problem. Its more like its going to die/stall but when I hit the gas to make sure that doesnt happen, its unresponsive at first then revs pretty high and jerks a bit when it catches. Is that the plugs misfiring?

    If I buy a scan tool will it tell me exactly whats wrong and what code the car has thrown or will it just give me %'s and readings of the cars performance?
