Engine stalls in traffic sometimes turning a corner sometimes pulling up to a stoplight. Always restarts and runs just fine. No check engine light no stored codes. Has 39 pounds of fuel pressure.
I cleaned the throttle body last night. Did it last summer as well. Was not terrible. I also cleaned the Mass Airflow Sensor. I have a Hewitt SAIS bypass installed but I’ve had that for a few yrs now.I agree with Rednexus above. I had a stalling issue that was due to a dirty gummed up throttle body and MAF. You can buy a $15 kit at Walmart that includes spray for MAF and throttle body. Only use MAF cleaner on the MAF! These are very sensitive. Use an old tooth brush for the throttle body. You need to do a throttle relearn procedure once cleaned. Completely fixed my problem
How often are you getting the stalling? I think that a failing PS pulley would eventually cause the serpentine belt to fail, but not stall the engine. I'd still get live data like @Rednexus suggested.I cleaned the throttle body last night. Did it last summer as well. Was not terrible. I also cleaned the Mass Airflow Sensor.

I noticed today some bronze/brass shavings around the ID on my PS drive pulley. Both inside and out like a brass bushing is wearing out. Steering is a little noisy and hard I noticed today. Maybe locking up and stalling???
I reached out to Paul today. He suggested I unplug it and return to stock. I have the block off plates installed so not sure about that.Reach out to Hewitt about this. I had the same, and it turns out for a few years they had intermittent issues with wiring harnesses. Have you noticed whether this primarily happens when the car is cold started?
Originally i thought mine was a transmission issue. Cleaned the maf. Repalced the maf. Cleaned the throttle body. Cleaned sparks. Replaced air filter. Only thing that fixed it was replacing the SAIS system with OEM parts.
