I recently just did a headgasket because i found oil in the coolant and the car would idle really good then once it warms up it would just hesitate and shut off. even if i gave it gas it would still do it. so i changed the headgasket and i am still getting this problem. i know it has good compression and its getting spark. it must be something fuel related im assuming. i see no smoke out the exhaust ether its really starting to bother me.

Possibly a bad coolant temp sensor? Mine did the same thing and once I changed that out, It was like that problem never happened.

The temp sender for the guage and the computer are different, one sensor does not run both. A fsm should have a resistance table and description of the location of that sensor.

does the coolent temp sensor have a black connector next to the red connector near where the upper rad hose goes into. on the intake manafold.

Yea mine did the same. The temp gauge was reading correctly but it was still acting weird. On cold starts the car was fine but once it warmed up, thats when it started acting weird and running rich like no other. Just try to replace the sensor and see what will happen. It's only like 19 bucks at autozone.
