I had a problem last year with my stock 96 GTS enine. With warm engine on a traffic light and a/c on idle went down as low as 300 rpm , tended to stall, but came back again and idled normal(worse with lights on).During winter i swapped into a 98 engine , with heads , cam,.... .Runs perfect , but still the same problem.Yesterday i installed my Roe S/C (8psi) ,car runs good(only made a short test drive yet),but exactly the same thing:stopping reduces idle very much,with S/C and a/c on it even quits.But everything has changed since last year-except stock computer and intake temperature sender.Batterie is new.After checking with a scan tool there is no trouble code ,O2 sensor voltage is good,everything seems to be perfect. I don´t think it is the temperature sender,so i`d like to try a different computer.I`m going to buy a new one, if mine is not working properly - but at first i`d like to try a used one , to be sure it is ( or is not) the computer.So if anybody has a known good 96 GTS Computer he wants to sell, please let me know.

Thanks

Peter

You might check the IAC motor on the side of the right throttle body. I had the same problem and it turned out this was bad. They also get dirty and can have the same effect. Try cleaning it first before the computer.
