Car dies at stop light - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Been having issue to the point I had to put my car in the shop. When at a light my car shakes then cut off. It will start back up and drive but anytime I stop. It shakes and turns off. The shop it is in is stumped right now. Honestly, this all started once I put a vitesse throttle controller on car. Once this happened I immediately disconnect that VTC. We have been trying to figure this out for 2 weeks now. Installed new upstream and downstream O2 sensors, new MAF sensor, NGK TR6 spark plugs, MSD wires.

Only mods I have is TSP longtube header, test pipe, 3' pipes, muffler, BBK intake. NO tune, No other mods. The problem started before the TSP full exhaust was installed.

I have used the search for more then 2 weeks now.

So a tune will fix the issue?

Take the throttle controller off til you can get the car properly tuned.

I disconnected the controller the moment it happened but even with it being disconnected car still stalls out at a light.

Disconnect the battery to reset the computer. It might not be the cure,but then again it might. It doesn't cost anything.

Update:

Mechanic just called and said it’s the timing chain and/or crankshaft reluctor wheel is bad.
