ok here is my problem last week, i tried installing a A/F gauge while installing the AF guage i used the stereo for power, ground to the body, and the middle white wire on the ecu. After doing that the car would want to stall when i pushed the clutch in to come to a stop, it would stumble and catch itself, and still stumble. The car drives fine, but as soon as i push in the cluth it wants to stall. It has only actually stalled once. So i cut the wire going to the ECU still the same problem. Then i cut the power wire, and the stalling problem stopped. Some one told me to try a differnt source of power, so i tried that. I spliced into the cig lighter bulb, so the gauge would only come on when my lights are one, and all of a sudden the problem started again. So i disconnected all the wires from the AF gauge and still the same problem. Did i mess up my ECU?? The check engine light is normal, at the initial start it stays on for like 7 seconds then goes away, and does not come on when it is about to stall. I have had similar problems when i got my greddy BOV, but fixed that. my plugs are NGK irridium, magnecore 8.5 wires (both are not even a year old) my ICS motor was replaced not even 2 years ago. Does anyone have any suggestions???? i used a vampire tap to spice into the ECU, i even took the vampire tap off, and the wire was a little mangled so i cut out the mangled part and sodderd the wire back together. That is about all ican think of. Ohh and i didnt smell anything funny either inside like an electrical fire or anything... please help.... thank you...
 
ok now today, i let the car just idle for like 15 mins abd drove it, and drove fine, it didnt want to stall if anything the rpms where a tiny bit higher.
