Andrew,

Yes, I was in the tuner group when Jim C. came to Atlanta for the dyno session.

And yes, the car stalls pretty consistently. One item of note though:

If I start it in the garage it starts without any stalls. When I go to the gym for instance, I drive straight there from my house, park, leave it outside for 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours max, come out and start it, then it stalls EVERY TIME. It's cold here now 30's to low 60's depending on the day. Didn't do this before the re-program of the chips though. Could be the fuel mixture setting? The temp. at which Jim C. was operating under was ideal (inside) so... maybe that's the problem??

Not sure what to do. My new rule of thumb has been to make sure I give it gas if I'm starting the car outside... It's embarassing to stall the car around people leaving the car wash of parking lot somewhere. The damn key-lock feature drives me nuts 'cause you have to remove the key before you can restart the car!!

Let me know how the leak test goes!

Sean
