stalling and MAF ok....???

Anyone know why my car is still stalling after checking the MAF and everything is fine?? Recently replaced spark plugs as well...(note, it was stalling before replacing the plugs)

Think I should replace the fuel injectors??

It is really scaring my wife when it stalls (usually only when slowing down and either the car is in neutral or the clutch is engaged).

Thanks for you help...

Are you coils seated properly? I know someone that has a loose coil or one of the plugs for the sparks plugs wasn't plugged in all the way and it exhibited the same problems.

from what I can tell everything is tight. Also...the car is running great...pulls strong and no hiccups whatsoever when accelerating.

id check the coils as well. also what kind of plugs did you replace them with? i know you said it was stalling before the plugs but i thought id ask. if the coils are fine and the right plug was used then i would clean the throttle body and run a bottle of chevron techron fuel system.

I know this reply is late but I'm experiencing the same stalling problems. It has been doing it for about 6 months. It has gotten so bad that I can be in neutral, rev the motor to 2,500 RPM and let it drop back. It drops down to about 400 rpm's and then stalls. It doesn't seem to do it in the morning when the engine is cold (Chock on?). It also doesn't seem as bad when the air conditioner is on. I Cleaned the Throttle Body (Pulls harder) but it still wants to stall. Could I have a faulty MAF? I also clean the contacts for the MAF wire connector. I brought it to a shop and the computer said it was some genearic error. The mechanic said it could be anything. I really need help becuase stalling in the middle of an intersection is not good.
