issues continue

So ithe Gm techs are trying to fix my lower rpm lean issue

Today it was 85 degrees, i had just started the car, put the AC on, and drove a few blocks. At a stop sign my idle went for a **** and the car stalled. I restarted it and the car was chugging and the the fuel gauge was in the red. I had very little power.
The car ran like **** WITH NO CEL / limp mode reading

I then shut the car off for 30 seconds, restarted it, my fuel guage read 1/3 and the car ran fine

WTF????

my idle is only 'wonky' when i goof up and stall or when i let off the clutch and drop it to about 500 rpms then press in the clutch again...then it does a little dance: : ) also, my fuel guage goes WAY wrong if my car stalls...takes about 10 minutes to reconfigure itself to a true reading.

I believe the fuel gauge issue is just from starting the car back without letting everything "zero" out. It happens in mine when I stall the car out. If you shut it off and restart, it'll fix.

Look for a thread on the .com with kellyperformance talking about it. he has done tons of research. last I checked upping the idle to around 900 rpm's seems to be working for him.
