Is it the LWFW that stalls my engine?

Harold,
I am experiencing the same issue with my car going from highway speeds and stopping quickly without down shifting. The issue came after installing a racing throttle body when my stock unit gave out (ECU parameters had to be reprogrammed for the larger throttle body.) RPM would fall quickly and bounce at around 450RPM and struggle to stay running. For the time being, I just pop the clutch to restart if it stalls (crappy fix.)
It does not happen when traveling slower than 45MPH and I don't think I have LWFW.
Hope you find a fix for it. I am getting it looked at when I take it in for the spring tune up and will update accordingly.

hmm. I have the 1st gen EVO CAI. I just have a cone filter so the air volume should not be less. It would be more.
Perhaps I should return it to stock and see what happens. I love hearing the engine scream over 5K RPM though..
If the CAI is the issue, I will miss it.

Its true some LWFW can cause the stall, If you get the car flashed make sure you tell the tuner. I recall when ppl first started doing this mod lots of ppl has this same complaint.Now in my 04 C2 i installed a LWFW and did not have the issue, while my friend with an 02 did the same flywheel and it had the stalling problem. He ended up getting repaired by getting a flash..I think it was a EVO or GIAC.
