need some help to diagnose problem for VT V6 calais!
hi guys just recently my car has has started 'wanting' to stall or once in a while stalls(happened only once)...this generally happens when im at low speeds such as 10km/h or very very light throttle...when this happens the orange symbol with the little electric symbol comes on...i prevent the car from stalling by tapping the accelerator or just holding the revs a little higher than idle...but that one time it did stall it struggled to turn on...but when i pulled over and started the engine again after that it started up fine..now im thinking that its an electrical fault...so guys can add to my list of things to change or to do
list so far:
new spark plugs (time for service anyway)
new leads (still got stock leads
maybe new coilpack (still stock)
maybe new starter motor (still stock)
check AFM or throttle body
new filter
im getting worried because i feel sometimes that it wants to stall out of nowhere and im worried that if it happens around a corner this might cause a problem for me...so guys i really need some help to diagnose or change...so any ideas are welcome

When the check engine warning light comes on it should log a fault code. You will need to have the fault codes read to find out what the problem is. Being a 5.7 litre you will probably need to go to Holden to have this done because you can't read them yourself as you can with a V6.
