The computer will not cause a stall condition. Check the fuel pressure readings at idle and also check for vacuum leaks. How old is the gas in the fuel tank? Try some fresh fuel to see if that helps.

mine does, it hunts at idle sometimes because im still working on my fuel trims, so yes a PCM will cause stall conditions, but it is less likely in this scenario, but a MAF sensor going bad can cause the same issue.

Thanks for the replies guys. If it was a MAF sensor wouldn't I be getting some sort of code like a P0101-P0103? Or a Lean/rich or fuel trim type code indicating a fuel problem?

And the reason I inquired about the computer was because on my Dodge Ram, it did the exact same thing until I drove it for about 40 miles. I researched on the net, and it's a pretty common problem when battery has been disconnected for quite some time...but didn't know if any of you guys had experienced somethign similar with these cars.
