Angry Hell of a week... I need some help :-(

So i'm driving to work today, upon slowing down the car shuts off, its happened before, maybe once a month, maybe a little less. On the way to work today it shut off three times in a row when slowing down. i've cleaned the IAC, no difference, also, when slowing down, it sounds like i have firecrackers in my exhaust, keep in mind i have no cats just straight pipes, and it has some popping when in nuetral, you rev it up, it comes down with a rumble and crack, its never done it when i was driving. so it shuts off, cracks and pops with some bogging. I couldnt' tell you at what speed or how fast, cause the dallas mustang calibrator just made the speedo not work. So i gotta get that fixed to. UGH. oh.. and i got a flat tire, twice. (same one) hell of a week. I think the symptoms could be related to timing, i'm hoping not.

brought up in a poor family, nicest thing i've ever had and i really enjoy it, and if a compay offers a programmer, and it gives you an error message, they should be able to tell me why... they sell it, they should back it. I do care about the stang, big time.

Didn't mean any offense by that Disposable - just messin' around, thats all. You have a great car and there is no reason why you shouldn't have a sense of pride about it. If I paid for something and things didn't turn out exactly the way they were supposed to, I'd be just as pissed as you are! I hope everything gets fixed and it all works out for ya!

live in VA, your going hundreds of miles to get a tune, several hours, few stang guys had the superchips tuner said it worked really well and helped out, so i jumped on back in my non educated days... waste of money and wish i would have checked around more first.
