I have been thinking about this issue and wonder if the stalling is caused by the fact that the airbypass value is trying to reduce the high idle by pulling it back, example is when you rev the engine the idle drops to 1,500-2,000 then slowly comes back to 700. I think the car has a idle problem and the ECU is working its butt off trying to get the revs down which it does but has done it in such a way that that the car has no power left. To support this arguement when I pull away in low rev's (below 2,500) the ECU is going crazy trying to get the engine to run right and you can feel the car surging etc. I feel for half my cars life even with the Auto it had high idel problems. We need to find out why the cars run rough at low revs and how to get then to go straight to 700 RPM when you lift the foot from the throtle. My plan if I get time before I go away is to disconnect and block each of the hoses supply air after the throtle body including the ECG and find out which is the problem, If you block the air bypass hose the car won't idle but it revs and is far more responisive to the peddle.
So in simple terms fix idle then see if the stall goes away I am not convinced that special relay etc or grounding ECU is the answer as my idle was screwed before I changed the gearbox.
