BillBoost37 is a glorious beacon of light

That fuse is a big one to check. I'd do that first if you feel comfortable.

Maybe he'* talking about the MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor. Mine did the same thing when my sensor went. Irractic ideling, shutting off at stop lights or anytime actually. You'll need to get the car scanned by a TECH II, which usually means a GM dealer. My SES light didn't come on until the very last day I was experiencing the problem. You can also try disconnecting the sensor to see how it runs then.

P.*.: TB=Throttle Body

No, that'* not the one. The other one that isn't the MAF or the TPS on the TB. Sounds like this is probably the Crank sensor from what the gearheads are saying. Never had to deal with that one yet.
