Gr or gpx
If gr check maf sensor plug mine used to come loose some time and it will screw up the revs and mixture

Ok well reread it again and the bit that I missed was it turns off that's weird
Stepper motor normaly makes you stall when stoped but fine when driving
If gr maf sensor will idle weird and dosent work to well if you try to drive

Also being auto I don't know how both affect you as manual may be diff

well to actually correct it, i did stall, when i stopped at the lights, den i cant turn the car back on, so its probably the stepper motor -_- lol, an i saw your post teaching someone about changing the stepper motor, so its just remove the old one, bolt the new one on, plug it, reset battery, thats it?

ok just changed my stepper, an reset ecu, engine light still turn on at the 1st 5min of drive, after it was fine, *cause the car is warmed up*, then whenever im in netural, rev stays at 1.2k then drops to 1k then go back up, to 1.2k. *feels like its hunting the rev*. i drove around for like 30-50mins. Now i shall see tomorrow morning with the cold start if it will stall. *hope not* ^^

It will hunt while it relearns optimum air/fuel ratios ETC after ecu reset so far sounds good
