Car is stalling
 
I was driving around last night for about an hour or 2 and when I was stopped at a light all of a sudden the CEL came on and the car stalled. I started the car up a couple of minutes later and I drove it home without it stalling or anything. Then today when I got home from work I started up the car, let it run for a bit, and the same thing happened, the CEL came on and it stalled. The car is tuned with crome. Anybody know why this is happening?

Check your CEL ::)

Alright my car did this again tonight, but this time when I was driving. I pulled over, jumpered the clip, and the CEL was still solid. Does anybody have any ideas to why my car keeps shutting down like this? After I wait 5 minutes it will start again and I can drive home. When the CEL comes on the wideband also jumps to rich as ----.

Are you jumping the service connector when your engine is on? If so, don't. Turn the engine off, jump the service connector, then turn your key to the on position.

That's what I did, still solid.

Solid CEL either means bad chipping job, or bad chip/burn.

Since this happened while driving it is most likely a loose solder joint on the chipping job. Rechip your ecu.
