Default 93 GC dies when truning at slow speeds

What would cause my sons 93 GC to stall at slow speeds? Stalls at stop lights and while trying to park it. It has a 5.2 v8.

Doesnt matter how much fuel is in it. I put a different throttle body on it and it still stalls. Son says its random,but when he pulls into the drive way it stalls so he keeps one foot on the brake and one on the gas.

Provide more info. Does this happen only when turning? Does it happen in Neutral? How does the vehicle behave at speed, say 20 mph or faster? Othen than stalling how does it run?

It runs fine while driving. It tries to stall at a stop light. It did pass our state emissions test. we tried a new throttle position sensor. That didnt change anything. Doesnt stall in neutral.

Biggoofy hit on the TCC in an earlier thread and I agreed and expanded on it for someone who is having similar issues as you.

It's worth a look into if nothing else.

It doesnt seem to die before the motor warms up. Would that matter?
