Car dies when I let off gas pedal, HELP
Hi everybody. I have a 1994 Cadillac El Dorado, and I been having an issue whit the car. Ok the car starts fine but if you drive it for a while when I let off the gas pedal it dies on me and it's hard to get start again after it dies.
I have change so far fuel pump, battery,fuel filter,fuel pressure regulator,starter too cause I try too many times to get started and I mess it up I also change computer. so as today still starts fine but still dies after a while when I let off gas pedal or stop.
Any input will be appreciated thank you all.

Codes? You have changed alot of stuff, was it all because of stalling? Any work done prior to the stalling concern? Carbon build up in throttle body can lead to stalling at hot idle or coming to a stop. Engine ground(s) can also cause this, in particular ground at engine on right side near lower crankcase. You can only get to from underneath car. When ECM is changed idle/TPS has to be re-learned to prevent stalling or intermittent high idle.

actually, CLEAR the codes then drive it a couple of days and get the new codes then. you have changed a whole lot of stuff that may have nothing to do with the TWO issues.
Did the car acquired new issues as compared to before putting all the new parts ?

the fuel filter and battery, I can see it done just for maintenance sake.
but just wondering .. were you advised to change all that?
