Need help with LS1

I have a 02 Camaro SS, i have a TSP MS4 cam, stock heads. I started having problems with my car about a week ago. WhenI come to a stop light, car begins to idle, then shuts off. It seems like it starts to struggle to stay on. Hooked it up to OBDII computer, it read meaages about my two O2 senosrs being bad. They were having low volt readings and a lean air fuel mixture. After changing my O2 sensors, it still does the same thing, however it does run a little better. It still does shut off at idle on road, but not as often. A friend said he thought it was my TSP and IAC (Idle Air Control). He said the computer was reaeding my TSP was low, it was going all the way down to 0%, and it should not be doing that. He said that the IAC my be needing to be adjusted, if it is bad, it is giving a bad reading to the TSP and shutting the car off at idle.

What do you guys think it may need? What other things could be causing this problem?

It has been since it had the cam. I bought it two years ago, the previous owner said he had tuned it down so it would be a little more affordable to drive with gas prices going up. I decided to leave it as is since I was deploying to Iraq a few months after I bought it. Now i've been back since October and have been driving it since March. I will have to tune it to its prespective position. Thanks

Get on http://www.mofbody.com and look up a guy named "dlove" he is in Ks. and can help you get the car back on track (and probably run better then before). The owner before me had mine tuned and it still didnt run like it should have .. so I had it redone (well worth the cash and hassle) and it run awsome ... has problems staying straight around 40mph

Damn.. that's across the state. But it may be an option. I'm trying to get te last owner to help me out. He's said he can tune it for me, but I'm having problems getting a hold of him. Thanks bro.

Did you buy the programmer? If so, how much and where?
