Default 98 Saturn Stalls

I have a 98 Saturn 1.9. The car starts ok and Idles OK, but when you start off it stalls or almost does then catches and runs fine. Every stop sign is a worry cause it will hesitate and sometimes stall. No codes show up on scanner. Any help would be appreciated

I asked you if you had done either of two things I mentioned to narrow down the most likely cause.....

ECTS by far most common issue due to design flaw in original OEM part. Replace with brass style replacement. Replace connector (dealer only item).
