[V8] Stalling V8

[Ingo Rautenberg]

I might add that the ready-made LED with built in resistor only runs about
$1.99 at Radio Shack.  All I did was use attach blade terminals (two for the
LED test light and another two for the trigger contact) and then use tin
snips to cut down the crimp bade terminals to fit into the terminal
connectors.  If the LED doesn't light up, switch the leads on the LED -- the
LED only works one way.

... I have and heartily recommend the ProDiag software from
www.shadetreesoftware.com ... especially if you have an old Palm Pilot
sitting around not doing much else any more ... but honestly, you don't
need anything more than a chunk of wire and a light bulb to read out the
codes.  Check out Scott Mockry's site for details on how to read out the
codes and what they mean:

The one thing that having the software does is that you can read out the
diagnostic blocks ... this might give you a little more insight into a
problem like the one you describe.  My suspicion is that the problem is
related to the ISV ... but it might be something else ... does the
engine have problems running at idle when the transmission is in
neutral?
