BIG mistake with ECU reset!
#16
so something else going on? i have also have this problem that i forgot to mention. this happens quite frequently. when i start my G, the rpms barely go over 1000 and then the rpms drop a bit and struggl to stay above the 1000 mark. Right after this, the car shuts off. After i turn the car on and the engine starts, in order for me to keep the engine running, i have to give it gas and then it stays on. But a lot of the time when i dont give it gas, the rpms struggle and the car shuts off.
But even when this was happening, the car still drove like a beast. Its after the ecu reset that the car is feeling very sluggish.

thats your issue, not the ecm reset, you should have mentioned this in the first place lol. Definately take it in.

Alright well I just finished doing some hard freeway pulls. Responsiveness is better. Acceleration has improved. I guess I just needed to drive it really hard so it could relearn my driving style. I still need to get the rpm issue situated. Gonna take it to my local specialist to do an "relearn" where they clean the throttle bodies etc. thanks for the help guys I really appreciate it!

I had the same problem when it would shut down on me. My car is at 115k miles , after I cleaned my throttle bodies, the idle performs like from bran new car. I have never had my car shutdown on me by it self after cleaning.
If you want to clean it, please Don't disconnect any cables from the throttle bodies!

if you haven't heeded the advice of others and cleaned your throttle bodies yet, I would look into that.
Also, make sure your MAF sensor connectors are solidly connected. Your symptoms described earlier point to either or both of the above.
If none of this makes sense to you, take your car in for a diagnostic and let them know the symptoms. You don't want the motor going weak on you in a dangerous situation.
Good luck

Do it, clean the TBI's, add some good FI cleaner and put a few hard driving miles on it before you just go to the dealer.
