So when I first bought this car, it had a really bad erratic idle, that would drop down to 0 and bounce right back up in a matter of a second, and keep doing this. It would flicker, and then stall. It's not fuel related. It'll actually stall when I'm driving and then not start back up. I replaced the ignition coil and all was fine. Now, three months later, it's doing this again >:( What do you guys think? It's throwing a 12, 13, and 41 codes. Could these all be related to the 41 (TPS?)

At this point, I've pretty much narrowed it down to something between the distributor and the ECM. It's throwing codes 12 and 13, so I'm getting intermittent spark, and when I'm not, it shuts off fuel. I've replaced the distributor, so it's gotta be a problem with either the wiring, or the ECM. I'll replace the ECM, and if that's not it, I'll replace the harness. If that doesn't fix it, I'll save up for a dang 3sgte, lol.
