REPOST: Car is stalling at low RPMs

If anyone has some advice or ideas it would be appreciated. My car is stalling at low RPM's (ie. idleing, lights, etc...) When it happens all of my electrical flickers, headlights, gauge lights, check engine light etc... Anyone have some help?

Battery. If that does not do it then replace the alternator.

also alternator belt and fuel injectors (if high mileage since you have a '96).

I would guess alternator. When I did my motor swap I did not have the plug to the alternator in and that is how my car acted. It is not the fuel or spark issue from the symtoms your describing

No motor swap. CAI, Greddy catback, underdrive pulley... Brought it to my tech guy today and found out it was the engine coolant temp. sensor. Hasn't been a problem lately so he cleared the codes and now we'll see if it comes up again. Thanks for the help everyone.

Did you drop in a rebuild, or just a used one?
