dose it feel slughish also? if so you might check the cat. comverter.

the other thing you might think of doignif yo havent already. add some fule injector cleaner and also might try to change out the gas filter to make sure they are not pluged up.

Also check the throttle body. I have had two cars now that stall after starting or that were in gear at a low rpm. If it will run when you floor it, the throttle body probably needs cleaned. The ecm will shut it down if the air/gas mixture is not correct.

Just take the rubber hose off the throttle body and get some good carb/throttle body cleaner and clean it out good.

Good luck!
