now that i finally got my stalling problem fixed, a week later it stalls again....but this time it only does it when in gear idling at a light for a while and it doesnt do it after the car is warmed up. anyone got any ideas? maybe a tranny flush would help?(its an AT by the way) TIA

Do you have any CEL's?

O2 sensor might be causing your plugs to foul, especially given how it only has the symptoms when cold. Have you ever changed your O2 sensor? Try checking your plugs. Check the resistance in your coil and wires.

i have a CEL when it stalls out but while its running...i got nothin. i have never replaced the o2 sensor myself. im gonna go to SATAN to get it scoped to find out exactly. but which 02 sensor are you talkin bout and where is it? (how much it ususally cost?) TAI

front O2 is EASY. its right down past the heatshield on the left side of the downpipe right before the bend towards the rear. just be careful to thread it in with your fingers first. i dont know the name of the wrench but the style that the box end has one of the sides taken out to let the wire through. tighten it down and one 1/4 more turns to torque it in. the clip that mounts the connection can be a bitch to get secure. (i had to do it in the dark)
---back me up or correct as necc if im wrong peeps---:thumbsup

its like $70 bucks. but fuck having satan charge you for that.
