I have been experiancing surging and stalling problems once the engine has warmend up to operating temp. The car drives fiine other wise, but I can't seam to pinpoint this problem. I removed my 30lb injectors, MAF and chip and the car felt stronger as I was running way rich and got about 125 miles to a tank of gas.

On a side note I have disconnected my water temp gauge sending unit and installed an auto meter gauge and sending unit. I did this because my gauge cluster water temp stoped working. I was sondering if the computer needed to see water temp though.

Any ideas on the surging and stalling

the temp sender on the driver lower intake is for the gauge only - disconnecting that one wire will not affect the puter.

so is this a new issue since swapping back to 19's or did it do it before and now?

good luck.
