This usually happens when I first start the car for the day, the car just about always stalls after a few meters down the road and the engine light comes on, but its a auto. Then I put it in Park turn the engine off and restart and good as new.

What ive noticed is when that happens my temp gauge is very cold at first but when I restart the engine the needle instantly goes up off the cold mark slightly. So I am assuming that the car is not passing its temp check and goes into limp mode.

Are there any problems that could occur if I just let it be?
The car did it before the custom tune so could it be the thermostat?

Yea I've heard from some where it might of been on here that someone else had similar problems like you and I and he suggested that it could be the TPS. Any idea of how much a TPS usually goes for and is it hard to install?
