My car stalls as soon as soon as I start it - Cars & Trucks

I had a 78 rabbit did the same thing. It was the fuel pump relay. The connector was under size and burnt up. When you star the car on the old Rabbit the pump runs off the ignition switch. Once it starts the relay needs a pulse from the distributor to let it know that the car is running and keep the pump running after it starts. If not the relay times out and pump stops pumping gas. Its for safety so if in a accident and the engine stops the pump wont pour out gas

Try unplugging the mass air flow sensor on the air filter box. If it don't stall, change the sensor.

The light is in test mode when you start, so you can check the bulb is working. The light has nothing to do with whether you stall it only estimates whether you need a service based on time, number of starts (and probably some other parameters - perhaps someone else knows what they are).

it sound like your nutral safety switch switch is going bad

fuel problem..... are the injectors good? new fuel filter?

Possible Service Engine Soon Light, Engine Stalling, or Hard Starting

Engine, May 18, 2009

RepairPal Expert Overview:
The RTV seal on the fuel system control modules may allow water to enter into the module. Water in the module can cause a short, which may cause hard starting, a crank-no start condition, or stalling, and the Service Engine Soon light may come on. If the engine stalls unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the fuel system control module free of charge. The recall began on May 18, 2009. The GM recall number is 08411.

It could be the coil is getting old. They begin to lose function when they warm up.
