As of 3-1-06 I THOUGH everything was fine. As I was not expiriencing the stalling anymore. Actually my girlfriend is the only one that can get it to stall (it's that rare).

Valve covers were removed and I think the timing was checked during the initial inspection of the car by a mechanic in california DR. ZIGGY'S German Car Specialist also the mechanic here pulled it off as well so I assumed they looked at that since they were tuning the car up and mentioned that the chain was tight.

Have you increased the timing to 10 degrees BTDC ? No, I have not done that yet. So I advance the timing to 10 and idle and increases and then I should watch the idle go back down to 700?

Have you checked for false air ? No, how?

Does your idle valve connector show 12 volts dc.? Will let you know in a few.

Guys, I am more then happy to learn what you want to teach me and explore new grounds, it's just both of the mechanics say that it's an IDLE/Vacuum problem. Not to mention the car drives awsome otherwise, just dosen't seem like it has a lot of power when you intially push the gas pedal from a stop. But I don't know how it's supposed to be.
