Stalling at stop
13 bob with 22k on it. Stage 1 a/c power commander and v&h short shots. Roll up to a light or stop and she dies. I can fire it right back up and good to go. Any ideas where to start?
Need a little more info ?
Does it stall warm and cold,Power commander can increase idle RPM..

Intake or exhaust leak, poor connection with the PC and a dirty air filter are what first comes to mind. You also could have a dirty IAC which would explain the stalling but not the decel pop.
I would remove the pc and see if it runs any better.

It's very easy, don't try to take it off. Take off the air filter and near the the top of the intake you will see where it pokes through. Spray with throttle body cleaner and if you cycle the ignition a couple of times you can see it moving in and out. Put a rag behind it to catch whatever crud comes loose.

Ah now I remember seeing that thing. Damn pictures are misleading.
Also I reset the power commander and rode it. It still stalled, however after I started it I drove it about 300 yards in 2nd gear and not getting above 2500 rpms. When I let off it didn't die or even act like it was having a hard time.

In fact I skipped step one and went stright for spraying while the engine was on!

You wont like my comment but toss that power commander as far as you can over a bridge. If you want to make the bike run better etc use a ECU flashing device such as Power vision or TTS etc. Or put a thunder max auto tuning computer in it. Them plug in gizmo's will only cause you grief sometime down the road.
