Alright... I want to thank everyone who replied to my last "stalling problem" post. Doing the idle reset worked and the car ran perfect for 2 whole days. That second day she stranded me at work with a bad fuel pump. The next day my buddy and I put in a new tank, fuel pump assembly, fuel pump and strainer and new fuel filter. (had to replace tank and pump assembly cause original was rusted on so badly). Go and start it up and she sputters and idles all goofy and emits a bit of carbon. I then did the idle reset procedure and it still would sputter and die. Threw some injector cleaner through the system with premium and it seemed to work fine then. It's still having it's idling problem where it will be OK sometimes but other times it will just fall to low idle and then die. When I start the car it doesn't want to start right away either and I have to gas it a few times for it to idle. Tonight I decided to try the TPS. So my buddy let me swap his in. Put that in and adjusted it and it seemed to again be ok. Drove it around and still have problems. Did idle reset AGAIN and still not perfect. So I went out and ran it hard thinkin maybe if there was a clogged injector that would help wink . Now she doesn't want to idle at all and just stalls every time I'm out of gear or on the clutch. For those who don't know last week I had the side 60k done (including CPS) and also put in a new VSS. WHAT THE HECK COULD MAKE THE SHO DO THIS. Could I still have clogged injectors or is it something else???? Any input would be appreciated.

Did you try cleaning the IAB/IAC? There's a writeup on the shotimes.com website. I would clean the MAF while you're at it.

Problem fixed! Thanks luigisho. We cleaned that, the MAF, TB, and the intake hose. Worked so good we did mine too.
