Default Possessed? Could be..
First, I am not sure if this should really go under tech and mods, so if that is the case, please just move it (thanks ).

I have had my '04 6spd for a little over a year; she's my DD and has over 87K on it. A few weeks ago I had some issues with the RCM, and following the wonderfully easy directions to solder the pins, did so.

So far, I *think* I took care of the problem.

However, within the last week, almost once a day, my car will stall suddenly, and yet will start immediately with no problems, no flashing lights on the dash, etc. It will stall only after I had been on the highway for a little over 30 minutes, and will stall at a light or stop sign (thankfully it has not stalled while the car has been moving). There will be no rough idling, no problems starting it up, etc. I have an aftermarket system set up in my car (one of those Pioneer AVICs) where one of the screens you can opt for (other than having the nav system set up), shows the battery voltage, speed, clock, and yet it never shows any issues with the battery.

I DID, though, recently, had to have the Pioneer system removed to send it for repairs since the CD player/Library was broken from when I purchased the car, and had it re-installed at a local reputable shop. While I have not had any electrical issues that I can tell since then, the car stalling has me worried.

it will not stall on the road, and though it will stall at a light, does not take it's sweet time deciding when to start like it did when I had the RCM issues. HOWEVER (sorry, I lack the ability for short summaries ), earlier today, it stalled and restarted, BUT I noticed that the temp/gas gauge had both the temp and gas markers at the 10 and 2 marks (when I know I had about a little under a half tank, and I had never had issues with the temp).

Since I was close to the office, I kept driving, though neither gauge needle moved, and when I arrived at the office, I turned off the car, then restarted it, and both needles then went to where they should be (normal temp, a little under half a tank).

When I get home I will be attaching the OBD II reader in case I am missing something that could be important, but I was wondering, ahead of time, if anyone here has had similar issues?
