So the car has a stalling issue. We are currently filling your video and resetting the ECM, ECU computer. We cleaned the cam shaft sensor and the throttle body and map sencer. We are currently waiting the 10 minute for the negative terminal with the wire connectors to the positive and negative as shown on your video. Once the 10 minutes past what should we do connect everything back, obviously. Then drive it for how many miles?

When it stalls is there any pattern? Like it acts like the key was shut off or it sputters like it is low on fuel? Only after it was run hard or only if you turn a corner? Anything like that? How about it has to be running for X minutes and then it stalls? Or it only stalls after filling the gas tank? There are a lot of things that can cause it to shut off. Does the check engine light come on before it stalls? is it on any time while running?
