This is exactly why I ALWAYS ground the ECU. You will get weird things going on when they have intermitent ground. I've put "bad" ECU's back on for people and they work with a good ground. Glad you got it going.
I want my fair share

You might try disconnecting it, shining up the terminals...put a dab of dielectric grease...or even plain grease on....and then reconnect. Wait half a season and see if it does it aain
nope

I'd say you have a bad crimp on one of the ballast wires and you reconnect the wire and get it back to where it makes good contact.

Well, after many weeks and one hell of a snowstorm, finally took the car out for a ride to see if it the stalling issue was fixed. The car ran pretty well, and I was finally able to get it inspected. Couple of side notes, I had no brake lights when they went to check them, I knocked off the brake light switch while working under the dash for so long , DOH ! On the way back just as I was approaching home, I thought I heard the rear whining a little. Not sure if that was due to the cold weather or not. Regardless, the car is safe back at home, thanks again for everyone's help
