car stall

hey whats going on guys my car stalled while i was in motion, I gave it a little gasthen next thing I know it stalled out on me, I just recently got it dyno tuned the guy said I should be fine, and it has a rough idle but only once in a while, I'm going to try and reset the KAM, also I cleaned my IAC and it seemed spotless I don't know what it could be also my car was giving the tuner a hard time it wouldn't cooperate with what ever he did down low rpm's anyone think it might be MAF or maybe even the IAC??? I have no CEL.

RE: car stall

[hr] ok plot thickens, I just went for a ride while data logging for about 15mins and the max was 14 and min was -15 for the short terms however, when I came to a stop I chucked some revs and the short terms were fine but my car was about to stall, so now I am relieved to know that it isn't the tune its something else, any one have any suggestions? vacuum? maybe the fuel filter? thanks!

Assuming you have your Stock tune on your tuner somewhere, reload the stock tune (provided you don't have a power adder that requires a dyno tune like turbo or SC). See if teh problem goes away. If it does then the problem is the tune. Timing perhaps.

RE: car stall

ok well I just tried doing that 1-5k rpms at 5k rpms it was at +25 and +26 then I didnt have the factory hp tune so I restored to orginal and it didnt seem to change and was actually a little worse and the idle was about the same a little rough, now my custom tune is gone I give up I'm just going to wait until sat and have the guy try and fix it again thanks for your help!
