Stalling and starting problem
 
so i recently changed the spark plugs, wires and coil packs on my 8, about 4000 miles ago, before doing so my car would always stall right after i exit a freeway, usually on the ramp as i am decelerating, today 4000 miles after changing my wires plugs and coils it stalls on my again, both times i could not get the car to start up for at least 10-15 attempts, i even tried the de-flooding procedure, i have no clue to what is wrong with her? does anyone else know or ever experienced this?

p.s. my only guess is that the cat converter is clogged up.. but idk if thats the case

Could be anything...
But I do know this, if it's legal where you live to not have a front license plate, why the hell have you not removed the plastic mounting piece.

That just looks as bad as having a plate, maybe worse.

Of course I'm assuming this is your car in your sig.

Oh and:
Might be kind of helpful to maybe lets say tell us:
- What year?
- Miles?
- Model?
- Coil type (OEM or BHR)
- other maintenance, like a fuel pump
- Modifications like a Cold air intake

Just say'n

- last compression test

Try to seaform/zoom zoom clearer/water treatment your rotor.
I had the exact issue when getting off High way, only difference is that mine started up right away.
It went away after I seaformed the engine.

And do it at a open space area. lol

Visually inspect your cat.
Also, try to use periods instead of commas. Poor grammar could be the difference to the point you're trying to make.

I had the same issue but it happened on hot days. I replaced the fuel pump with walbro and till now it didn't stalled.
