I can't make this happen and it only happens occasionally.

Most of the time when turning left from a stop. Ease out of the clutch into the throttle. The car starts to roll and then stalls, with dashes appearing on the odometer. Coast to a complete stop, turn the switch completely off and start the engine. Engine starts with no problem at all and the car runs fine. Like I said at first, it mainly happens when starting and making a left turn. It has happened twice when starting in loose gravel in a straight line.

Tac Bear put his Diablo Programmer on it and it showed no codes, any ideas.

When making a U-turn or a hard left turn at times the car wants to stumble under acceleration. I have been told that it is possibly a wheel sensor that is going bad.

I had this issue on my wifes convertible last year and it turned out to be a short in the crank sensor wires.

It definatly sounds to be a wiring issue. possibly in the steering column

Found the problem yesterday. It has a diablo switch chip in the ecu. When I removed the ecu the chip fell out. The chip was not fully seated on the board, suprised it did not fry the ecu. I removed the chip and will program it with a hand held.
