i have a 95 Talon ESI the car was jump-start incorrectly by the previous owner it burnt the ECU and TCU i replaced both, i have been having this car about 2 month and the computers are 2 month new also
but the car cannot stay idling, the engine will shutdown something when idling no matter if you are waiting in stop sign and stop in D or park at P no in N sometime the checkengine lit will intermittently flash and the RPM reading will drop for a moment, it never stay on, it will just flash once, not constantly, but sometime because it doesn't affect too much for give me a ride to school so i just leave it like this until last Sunday, the engine stop when i stopped the car at a stop sign after i launch with the AC on now the engine no long run the starter run but no spark battery, starter is good, spark plug is new, i guess the wire is ok i would really appreciate if you guys have any idea of what should be wrong.

things to check, ignition coil, crank and cam sensors, asd relay, timing!

Yeah that was kinda hard to read... Not trying to bash you, but is English not your first language?
Do you have any CEL codes?
If the IAC is bad it will throw a code, it's easy to replace (couple of hex screws and it's out) and I think I may even have a spare for you if it's junk. If there's no spark, you may have a different or additional problems.

i really appreciate you guys for helping even it is kinda hard to read. yes, English is not my first language, but i will do my best to keep it correctly written. again, thank you all of you and your kindly help.
my car was towed to a shop. the guy told me that it might be the Crank Angle sensor but i just wonder, if the Crank angle sensor goes wrong, the computer should have told me and the check engine light should stay on however the check engine light never stay on so i think there is something wrong with the computer
another reason that i think the computer is bad is that when i turn the key from "off" to "on". the check engine light doesn't light on. before the car died, the check engine light used to flash for few second. however the ECU is new, and i can't read anything in OBD. it just says Error.
would it be the previous owner has cut some wire to hide any problems?

The flashing of the check engine light is a meaningful sequence of numbers. The link I provided above explains the key dance (One good thing about having a 95) and what the flashing means. With the 95 it was a weird combination of OBDI & II. Do you have the correct reader? If just about any sensor goes bad there's a code for it. Try doing the key dance and post the codes you get. Maybe that will work better than trying the reader.
