Car keeps dying, again.
Well, to follow up on my last post about my car stalling out sometimes, and sometimes it idles up and down on startup, and then might level out if it doesn't cut off. The main stalling occurs whenever I'm driving and have to pop it in neutral like at a stop, or when I push the clutch in, like a simple turn. Anyway, everyone was saying that its the IAC. Well, its only about 5 months old, but I checked it anyway. And of course, there was hardly any fouling in it. So i'm ruling that out.
Is there any possibility that the connector on the iac is bad??? if not, does anyone else have any ideas??? I checked the AFPR, and its fine, no leaks. My fuel is at about 40psi. I'm lost...

RE: Car keeps dying, again.
voltage is good, did that about 2 months ago. Could it be a fuel issue, like not enough fuel? I'm running a stock fuel pump on gt40ps, typhoon intake, e cam, and some other stuff.

RE: Car keeps dying, again.
Could it possibly be a MAF issue??? I'm running a C&L 76mm with24lb sample tubeand i've heard that they don't do well when you upgrade injectors because supposedly the sample tubes are crap.

RE: Car keeps dying, again.
Did that too. My idle is setting at a nice 800-850. For references, i've done tps voltage, idle reset, new iac, fuel pressure at ~40psi, cleaned my maf, ran codes, checked for vacuum leaks, etc. I'm thinking its equipment. Either my C&L is a piece of doodoo, the fuel pump isn't getting enough out, or the electronics in the IAC are fubar.
