it could be several tings..

vaccume leak, pcv valve, dizzy (distributer), idle screw, air filter (maybe?) genrally look @ the things that u would change at a regular tune up, and get u'r buddy to check out the dizzy, and ur' sparx as well, it could very well be anything under the hood

hope thast helps a lil

not sure if i read right. the EGR valve. would that cause the motor to drop from normal idle when warming up - 100rpms or stall? then once the motor is warm it runs fine? could also be his map sensor. best bet is to read the codes. b4 doin anything.

Its because your car is "fully built" thats why your car is stalling. Too much power for your car to handle. Ok ciao.

Like T said,

Check:

Spark Plugs
Wires
Cap
Rotor
Disty

What does the car sound like when you turn it on? Does the motor vibrate like crazy and it sounds like its got one of the Spark Plug wires unplugged?

I just went through that nightmare with my car..and it was not a cheap fix!
