    Default Vr stalling and weird acceleration

    93 vr constant stalling, fuel pump, injectors, oil and filter, O2 sensor, no vacuum leaks, IAC motor changed. What can it be? Sometimes only happens when just started and go to break and it downshifts and it feels like it is going to stall. Other times works absolutley fine.

    Have you tried a swap of the DFM and coils?

    Other than that, this sounds a loose wire or some vibration related issue in a plug - corroded pins, wires shorting?

    Just a thought -
    How about the Knock Sensor? A lot of engine noise will trigger the ECU to kill the fuel momentarily!

    +1 on TPS. If it downshifts in gears, its a sign it thinks the throttle is more open than it is, also why it thinks its getting more air but isnt, and it stalls because of this. Replace the sensor before you waste money on anything else.
    The hall of fame:

    Crank angle sensor is my bet.

    TPS, knock sensors etc usually just log a code.
