I posted on here a few times about my car and a random stalling issue its been having. It happens maybe once every 2 months but its driving me crazy. Ive replaced everything that would come to mind and im moving into other areas trying to figure this out.

I was told the TPS sensor sounds suspect and it is a pretty cheap part so im gonna replace that tomorrow. I know its a pretty easy install but I wanted to double check on it. And do you think this could play a role in the stalling?
 
Have you replaced the IAC sensor/motor yet? They cause funky idle and stalling problems.

You could try cleaning that first if you havnt allready. Its the silver sensor on the front of the intake plenum, kind of looks like a little barrel.

If you decide to try this just use some electical parts safe throttle body or carb cleaner... if not that than just some electric parts cleaner, let it dry and re-install.
 
yeah Ive replace the IAC. Ive done a full tune up , new alternator, new optima battery, new fuel filter, fuel system cleaned, throttle body cleaned, etc...

I was told the new areas I should look into are the TPS sensor, ignition control module, crank sensor and a few others. I just really want to figure this out.
