Help with stalling 1991 Buick LeSabre

I have a 1991 Buick LeSabre LE 3.8 that stalls running hot or cold, while driving. Engine runs rough, engine light always on.

I have replaced the following:

Throtle Position Sensor (New)
Idle Oxygen Sensor (New)
Crankshaft Position Sensor (New)
Coil Pack (Used)
Spark Plugs & Wires (New)
EGR Valve (New)
Transmission Oil & Filter
Solenoid in Transmission checked and its OK
Catalytic converter checked and is good
computer and chip changed (used)

If the cel is on something is wrong with the pcm, or maybe do did not switch over the prom from your old pcm?

Hey Max (Shep) If I read the first post correct, he changed the prom, so now we should ask, why he still has a CEL & what it is??

Re: Help with stalling 1991 Buick LeSabre

What year did the chip come from? And are you sure you don't have a vacuum leak... This was an extremely common issue with the L27 Tuned port as they aged... As well how did you set the TPS as they are adjustable on the 91-92 models..
