@OP,
Your statement is confusing to me. The way I'm reading it could be interpreted either way. Now we know it's a stock ECM. Now is the tune stock or not. If not, who's tune is it?

If it was previously installed in a manual and now you're using an automatic I would have to agree with Donbrew here. Your ECM is probably waiting for a clutch signal, when it doesn't get one it stalls. Probably as a safety I would "assUme!" I'm no help here because both my HHRs are automatics.

As far as your datalog on it, I'm not sure it will help much. It's only recording what you program it to. I doubt you have been watching for a clutch signal. It'll have your parameters at stall out, so maybe something there will be of help. Seems like it runs fine until your ready go.

Does it rev ok in Park/Neutral? Any service warnings on the DIC? When I did my gen 3 swap, the initial startup was no fun. I had ENG PWR REDUCED, along with whole bunch of others. The car would barely run and stalled trying to move.
Car stock with manual transmission, trifecta tune and they was informed of the manual transmission. Car runs fine cruising and then when you push clutch in to come to a stop is when the idle drops to almost dieing or just dieing. I do get the p0300 code which I did inform trifecta of this but that was on Saturday so no response yet. This is my first major mod ever done so it's a learning curve for me.

Well that is different info than your 1st post.
That post made it sound like every time you pushed the clutch in, the engine died.

P0300
Use AC Delco plugs only.
In truth only use OEM parts- let us know..
How do the plugs you remove look - might be a clue- wet dry,black,tan?
Did you do a fuel pressure test AND observe leak down rate with KOEO
Add 1 bottle "techron" or "seafoam" fuel detergent...
Give it a run and clean the throttle body with proper throttle body cleaner
Check and clean the MAF sensor also

Sorry, only when it's pushed in to come to a stop. Trifecta contacted me today and said the miss fire is from the base calibration, which makes me feel better.

Put ngk plugs in but haven't drove it yet. Would rather wait until I get another response from trifecta. Can I use fuel treatment in a turbo car?

I'm skeptical of the NGK plugs, why are you using them, and the fuel treatment would spray into the cylinders after the turbo so there shouldn't be any issue. I'd switch back to AC Delco 41-103 iridium plugs

Ngk is what was in the car I got from the guy on her I used the turbo kit from so I bought what he was using.
