engine stalling, idle drops what's the deal?
 
it's been quite a while since i last posted. have had this issue for a while. while driving, everything runs fine but when i come to a stop there's an rpm drop and idle begins to bounce and sometimes stalls. other issue is engine stalls while making a right or left hand turn - this is usually on short trips. i have uninstalled tune, replaced electronic throttle body, egr valve and tube, pcv valve, map sensor and maf sensor. i still have to replace the crankshaft postion sensor and camshaft position sensor, could one of these two be the culprit? i have no codes popping up on tuner gauge display. any help would be appreciated.

Yes indeed you did, but, how many different engine/trans combinations did third gens have???? It makes a difference.

Do you have the electronic throttle body??

yes, replaced electronic throttle body, egr valve, egr tube, pcv, map and maf sensors. also did the re-learn thing where you push down accelerator pedal and hold it, did several reps of that. my next step is to replace the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors.

Are you getting any codes?

It might be cheaper to take it in to the dealer and have it diagnosed, rather than just firing the parts cannon at it.

It's absolutely adorable of you to think that any of us look at profiles or your other posts just to see what you actually have.........you want an answer, put the pertinent info in the post. Otherwise put it in your signature so everyone can see it on every post. Smh.
So I see we're shooting the parts cannon at it to see what sticks. As previously asked, were there any actual codes? Where is your fuel tank level normally? Do you like to run it down as far as possible? Does it do this when you have a half tank or more?
