Battery voltage is very low....

do you think that would cause a stall like this? the alt. shows 14 when im driving and when the cars off is 11-12 and 12.x at idle

and also i have a battery charger hooked up as well right now and same thing, i could be in the middle of driving and it will just die, but not from a dead battery and alternator combo
 
so i talked to ecmlink today, they have tested the ecu and they said it was find on there bench test, they said it might be my MAP sensor for my speed density set up, do you guys think this is possible, my map sensor failing when the car reaches operating temp?
 
im getting my ecu back tomorrow, and im picking up a new omni 4bar map sensor as well, hopefully the sensor is the problem. but any body out there alive that has an idea looking at my logs what the problem could be?

anything is possible. my gm 3bar literally came apart on a 25psi BLT once..

but looking at the logs, look at the baro its -18 idle then just before it dies it shows -28 and rpm is still 900esh, so this is telling me it might be the sensor, but anyways i just picked up the omni 4 bar from my local shop chameleon tuning and my ecu is coming tomorrow, so the only way to tell is once i have the ecu back.
 
just waiting for ups to get here with my ecu, any moment now!!! then i let her idle with the new map sensor, lets see if it works! ill keep you posted, for who ever cares LOL
 
As Vegas pointed out, your voltage is low. When you crank you are seeing 8-9 volts and when you are idling you see roughly 12 volts. With the key on engine off you see roughly 11 volts. Your battery at idle should read above 13 if not 14 volts and around 12-13 when off. It looks like your alternator and battery are going out in my opinion.

look at the omni 4 bar in the idle then stall log above, would the low voltage cause this to happen? because it will die even if its revved and showing 14 volts
 
well my ecu just got dropped off about an hour ago by ups, so guess what. IT WAS THE MAP SENSOR THIS WHOLE TIME!!!! i dropped in the ecu and started it up with the new sensor, and bam! it stayed running for much longer and i even drove it with success, stopping and going with no stalls!!! here my log after it warmed up tonight!!!
