Sounds like every AAMCO I have ever heard of.

BigRigMike, you can have the codes cleared at some auto parts places (Autozone, etc.) then drive it and see if it sets different codes. It's possible that you fixed the original problem, but since the code was set it thinks you haven't.

Yes it will. There are not any permanent DTC's set with these ECU's

If you keep your foot on the throttle, can you keep it running? And does it run ok then? If so, it is the IAC valve (Idle Air Control). Not too tough to change. About $45

when i first start it up for the day it will die a few times untill it warms up completely then its fine, no probs for the rest of the day, and it will die when in gear 1,2,D or reverse and Park, and when i restart it after it has died, sometimes its a little hesitant and sputters a little. hope that helps some.

I'd imagine a new IAC would clear that up, but having the OBDII code for it would sure help. No other codes were thrown, huh?

The sputtering makes sense, it's common on a vehicle that dies that way to choke on a little gas when it starts back up, even hesitate on the first cyclinders compression.

My vote is on the IAC.

IAC valve. Remove it and clean with carb cleaner. If the problem clears up a bit you've found it. Probably will have to replace with a new one to completely fix it. The trans codes that you saw were set as a RESULT of the stalling not the cause. A bad IAC will cause the stall. OBD has a tough time diagnosing IAC issues therefor it is not likely that you will set any codes.

Do a search and you'll find posts that include pictures of it's location but you have it right. It is behind the throttle body. Two 10mm (I think) bolts and a single electrical connector. There's a gasket too so make sure it doesn't fall down when you are removing it.

Various Problems

I had that for an entire year and couldnt find anyone who could fix it> My truck would only do it while idling in gear: OD would flash then truck would stall< truck would not restart unless key turned to off position then it would start and be normal. It always gave error code of speed sensor and no tranny codes> Friend of mine had same problem and his was a misfiring coil> Mine ended up being a bad ground on the battery!!!
Seems crazy!!!!!!!!
