it was on it now idles at a low 600 rpm at idle but drives fine
 






battery could be going out.. alt. drawing too much current to keep up with trying to charge a bad battery and you add the stereo. that could pull down the rpms at idle and cause it to stall from idle or stopping. on the flip side.. the altornator could be going out.
also if you have a clogged IAC valve or something.. maybe your MAF is going out.
check those codes!
check idle voltage on the battery and the voltage with a little revs. should be between 13.7 and 14.5
and try it without the car on.. shouldnt be below 12.5
 






battery is fine i think its a vacuum line i can hear a hiss but cant find the loose one is their any diagrams with all them on it
 


















it runs better after it was sitting
 






ran codes it came up with p0506
